Ok I got all my parts now what the hell do I do?

[nightlovin]

I just ordered all my parts for my new build. They are all in the mail now and by build day will be this Friday. My components are:

 

CPU:I Intel Boxed Core I5-6600K 3.50 GHz, 6 M Processor Cache 6 for LGA 1151 

Motherboard: MSI Z170-A PRO LGA 1151 Intel Z170 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

Cooler:  Corsair Hydro Series H115i Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler, 280mm

RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2400 RAM (Desktop Memory) CL15 XMP Black DIMM (288-Pin) 

GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 DirectX 12 GTX 1070 ARMOR 8G OC 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP

Storage: WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch Desktop Hard Drive 

Storage: Samsung 850 EVO - 250GB - 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD

Case: NZXT S340 Mid Tower Case CA-S340W-W1 (White)

Monitor:  Acer ACG257HUSMIPG257HU smidpx 25

PSU: Seasonic S12 II Bronze 520W 80Plus Power Supply

OS: Windows 10

 

From here I really don't know what to do. I'm pretty sure I can put it together just fine. It's more of the bios settings and the other software that I need to get the most out of my build that I don't know exactly what to do. I am wanting to OC both the CPU and GPU and will need help and advice with that. Any advice or suggestions to of where to go to learn more will be greatly appreciated. Also, is there anything I still need to get that I will need to build that doesn't already come with the components?   

 

Thank you to anyone that replies and helps me out.

Well, after putting all the hardware and making sure the PC runs properly, you can install Windows then run some benchmark/stress tests while OC-ing

Put mobo, CPU, cooler and RAM together on mobo box > Test for POST (power on self test) > put everything in case > put graphics card in > cable manage > install OS > install all other programs > then start trying overclocking

What benchmarks should I be running?

first assemble

youtube linus's build logs, they are very informative.

building your pc while watching the vid would be beneficial

let us know when the parts arrive

Overclocking has gotten quite easy these days. On my ASUS Mobo it was a matter of going into my BIOS, selecting my cooling solution and 2 seconds later I was at 4,6ghz on my 6700k.

Parts are finally all here and it's built. Everything is running right now correctly I think. What test benches and other programs should I run and download?
