I was asked to come up with a family PC, plz rate, and tell me if i missed anything. Or if i should change something.

• Thermaltake VB6000BWS
• BenQ DQ60 DVD+RW
• AMD Athlon 64 3700+
• Altec Lansing 120i 2.0
• Acer AL1751B 17" LCD
• OCZ Performance Series 2 GB
• Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160GB

• Logitech (967453-0403) Office Pro Black Keyboard

Are all the parts compatible? Is there any bottlenecking going on? Anything else?

It all looks good to me. just make sure that you buy the PCI-e version of the video card so it fits in the DFI motherboard. Also, make sure you buy DDR not DDR2.

Wow, don't you think that's a little overkill for a family PC?

Umm that's faster than a mid-ranged gaming computer. No need for the DFI mobo, 7900GT and that CPU.
