Is this custom built computer good?

Looking at buying this from somebody?
I have no knowledge on whether it is good or not. Please help me.
Also, what would you pay for this? Please be honest and not say 100$.
My goal: I want to be able to play games (such as Starcraft 2) on full graphics. Nothing crazy. But something that still needs to be good.
Specs:
AMD Radeon 5850 graphics card
CPU 3.2 ghz
12 GB ram corsair dominator ddr3
Seagate barricuda 500 GB hard drive
Asus motherboard (don't know specific model- is this important?)
Intel i5 4670R CPU
Liquid cooled
Custom cooler master case with adjustable LEDs
System temperature diagnostics screen
5 fans
How much would you pay?
Is this good? Really good?
All help is much appreciated! Thanks guys!

This reads like a Nigerian craigslist scam

I dont think you need to have that bad boy liquid cooled.
Id offer him 500 for it.

Does he have time on it or did he just build it to sell?

Gonna keep this short since I doubt you'll take any of this advice. Also had a long shitty day.
Based on the build specs alone, especially if he built this from scratch (i.e., this wasn't the culmination of several upgrades), this guy is kind of stupid.
I had one of these briefly. 5850 will perform about on par with a 7770. You'll be able to run games, mostly at medium settings. You should be able to run starcraft 2 at high/ultra settings.
The frick is this? 3 sticks of 4GB? Does he think socket 1150 is triple channel despite the 4 DIMM slots with the clearly labeled channels?
Probably should find out what fricking year the Barracuda was manufactured.
Find out the model. Not because it will affect what you should offer, but because I want to see if he is even more retarded than suspected.
... Typo? Or did he really get a Crystal Well? I bet that Intel Iris Pro graphics 5200 die is being put to excellent use. Where did he even buy this fricking thing? They aren't available on the retail market. But since you said it was 3.2GHz, I don't know. The 4670R has a stock clock of 3.0 and a turbo of 3.7... Did he use that liquid cooler to get a whole 200MHz more out of the stock frequency?
Details? I want to see what 1337 liquid cooler he has on the monster 4670R.
Pics? I want to guess his age based on how the case looks. It would be fun.
What brand Power Supply?
I would not buy it. Especially if that's seriously a fricking Crystal Well in a gaming machine. But it would be at least a "playable" awkward little fricker, so let's say $350-400. You don't need his crusty arse keyboard.
