squa reacted to LogicalDrm in My First Build Is Complete, But Is It Running At It's Full Potential?
Check in BIOS that you can see every drive/PCI/e device. Check on your CPU/GPU temps under load and idle. In control panel device manager you can see yellow triangle on parts which are missing drivers. If the performance is what you are worried about, download CPU-Z and MSI Afterburner (or similiar) and run some of stress testing software or benchmarks. Most used are 3Dmark, Unigine Heaven/Valley and Cinebench.
Like its reading it skriiking and scratching would mean its broken. But other noises are normal.

Sounds like a terrible investment and waste of time, not to be a buzzkill or anything.

If you really want to save money but get the best you can, something less elaborate might make more sense.
