While Parasyte is one of my personal favourite models, it's not all that great, and the Neuronode is a really big investment in a 1k game. I like it in 2k for some lists, but it really takes some teeth away from a list at 1k, especially one that doesn't hit very hard like yours.
If you don't have any other models, the physchophage is fine, but there are other things that would go better in your list.
I don't know why everyone's always harping on Barbgaunts, I've always found them a great little utility unit that puts out a surprising amount of damage for it's small points investment, I'd keep them even in this detachment.
While the Rippers are an annoying little investment, I don't think you need 3 at 1k especially since there are a lot of secondary's that they can't do anymore.
If you cut Parasyte and the Psychophage, you could run a unit of 6 Von Ryan's Leapers (I'm assuming you have at least 3 already). With free heroic intervention, fights first, and fall back/charge from the detachment, they are a very scary unit when positioned correctly. If you cut one of the Rippers you'd then have enough points for a unit of 5 Genestealers for another light Skirmish unit.
