New PC - What to do first ?

[deadpand4]

So this week im getting my PC and I wonder what are the first steps you need to do to assure a good future for your PC, I think Linus said in one or more videos of his to do a 24h stress test or something like this (I won't last that much since finally I'll have a decent PC ;D).

My question is: are there any REQUIRED steps or guides to what to do?

Also can I overclock my cpu/gpu immediately or I should use them more until overclocking?

 

specs (if needed):

CPU i5-4670k

COOLER cm hyper 212 evo

GPU gigabyte gtx 970

MOBO gigabyte z97x gaming 3 mobo

PSU 750watt seasonic m12ii

 

(also could you recommend me some AAA games, thanks in advice)

I'd burn in your cpu and gpu for at least 1 hour just to make sure they arent defective.  After this you can overclock.  Not to mention burning in the CPU will cure the thermal paste, resulting in better temps in the long run.

Run a stress test for an hour, see if it passes. And also install your favourite programs too

Download all the essential shit like Chrome, skype, Office, etc.

Get a SSD.

There isn't anything required, but highly recommended. I suggest stress testing it while you are at work/school just to make sure everything is working fine. As for overclocking, you can, but I suggest stress testing it first.

First thing you should do is make sure it actually turns on. Then see if it will boot into Windows. After that just download and run the stress test. No need to run for 24hours. Run for 1-2 hours or about half a day.
