Is the problem that its just hard to compute these values ?
Or does the theory not predict particle masses ?
Or do we need a fully unified theory of all fundamental forces, before we can predict particle properties from first principles ?

However, no-one really believes that the Standard Model is the ultimate theory. There must be other stuff out there that we have found yet. What people are looking for now are deviations from the standard model.

We know the Standard Model isn't a complete theory or a "grand unified theory" though because there are too many empirically determined constants in it, and because it doesn't adequately explain all known particle physics.
