What Programs?

Go to solution Solved by Guest,
  1. MSI Afterburner
  2. LibreOffice
  3. Photoshop, Defraggler (if you have HDDs), Malwarebytes, VLC, qBittorrent, Notepad++, foobar2000 and MP3tag
  4. -

The only drivers you'll need are audio, network and GPU drivers.

 

EDIT: For PDFs just get Adobe Reader.

So, I have just built my new PC, running Windows 10 Pro.

 

Intel Core i5 6500


Stock Intel CPU Cooler
Gigabyte GA-Z170N-WiFi
8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 2400Mhz Crucial Ballistix Sport LT White
WD Blue 1TB
Samsung 850 Evo 120GB
Sapphire R9 380 Nitro
Corsair 250D

Corsair RM650x

 

So far, I have installed WiFi and Bluetooth Drivers and that is it, alongside Google Chrome. I obviously need to download GPU drivers, but are there any other drivers I need?

 

Also, I would like some help with programs. I need reccomendations for:

 

-A program to monitor Temps and things like that

-Free Office Suite

-Any other programs that may be useful

-A stress testing program for cpu/gpu

 

Thanks!

Chipset drivers.

 

Run Windows Update, It'll fetch latest drivers.

 

CPU Z and GPU Z

 

HWMonitor or CoreTemp for temps.

 

Open Office or Libre Office.

 

Run Ccleaner often to delete junks.

 

ADWCleaner for removing Junkwares and Adwares.
