it plays games in 1080p

Pretty sweet setup. Judging by the specs, it could be used for casual browsing just as much as semi-intensive gaming.
-
That was the purpose, I do some gaming such as RA2, TF2, GMod, Minecraft, some MWLL (based on Crysis) here and there. I use it for web browsing a lot and for the games I want to play it runs without being too expensive or overpowered.

Very nice for the amount you spent. Have you overclocked the CPU? If not, are you planning on trying?
-
Considering the uses he has listed, overclocking wouldn't be necessary.
