Something to keep eye on temps & stuff, voip/chat client, game clients. Thats pretty much all that normal gamer needs.

you see your temps but not both (gaming + temps) 

you can install msi afterburner 3.0 beta build 19 and you can monitor cpu core temps, GPU tempe, fan speed, clock speeds, RAM, and VRAM while gaming on screen monitor.

Computer users fall into two groups:
those that do backups
those that have never had a hard drive fail.

Whispers *BitTorrent*...

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

this is a decent list of some of the more commonly used programs. You can tick the boxes for the software you want and download an EXE that will automatically fetch and install them with minimal user feedback while skipping all the toolbars and junk that get bundled in.

Tired of hearing people say you can't install OS X on AMD hardware. Educate yourself.

Because 2010 goes with anything and 2013 looks like its only for windows 8

So it only sucks because it has the new modern look? Well that's narrow-minded...
