Like what programs you guys get right away?

Choose the stuff that you will use. I personally like to install Chrome, Firefox, Skype, Steam, VLC, and Malwarebytes after almost every fresh Windows install.

WinRAR, Firefox, Media Player Classic, but in the end it only matters stuff you'll use, if you want to edit videos I strongly recommend Sony Vegas. [:
