You definitely will want to go to the standard fan. It'll be sufficient. The 7850 will be much better. I'd say if you can, drop the 3570 to a 3470, or maybe even an i3/FX-4300. Depends on the configurations.
Regardless, CyberPower's PCs tend to be of poor quality. Building your own computer would be a great bonding time for you and your father, requiring at most a few hours. There's plenty of tutorials, and it really is simple to do. You'll get the best bang for you buck, and have reliable parts. The PSU and HDD on the prebuilt you've chosen probably won't be of great quality at all, and will likely fail soon.
That liquid cooling is useless with a locked CPU, the power supply isn't most likely very good and the graphics card is quite weak to be paired with an i5, it should really be on systems that cost more than $700(inc. OS) unless it's mainly a workstation.
You could run three 7950's and that i5 with that power supply, it's good to have overhead but that's way overkill.
i couldn't find the 650w version, pcpartpicker keeps removing stuff i swear...
Improved, again op most likely has an opticasl drive, they also most likely have a hard drive they can use so that can bring the price down about $150 (os and drive)

I would go with a i3, IIRC almost all of the i3's at this point score higher on benchmarks than the bulldozers. It's been awhile so I could be wrong on that though.
To reiterate what he said: Building is your best option, I mean look at the quality and price differences of what we posted and what you would be buying.

Piledriver 4300 and 6300 beat i3s.

No pointin dropping to an i3, price difference is next to nothing, especially with sandy bridge prices increasing for no reason

Piledrivers came out a couple months ago. They're far better than Bulldozers. The i5 is still the best gaming, but the Piledrivers beat the i3.
