I reccomend what you would use and Avast is decent for anti virus.

whatnI would use is a browser (Chrome), Gimp, Steam, Origin, etc. It just depends what you use

After burner for OC GPU, though as you're getting a laptop i would use it for it's monitoring you can set up an overlay to show FPS, cpu %+temo, GPU% + temp and other things.

 

Just lets you keep track of how your system is managing.
