Also any good software to record games as i play them if i wanted to uplload game play to youtube?

Prime95 is used to stress test your computer, and to put your CPU (and RAM) under load. A reliable way to get accurate results, rather than just gaming for an hour and hoping things work.

Speedfan and HWMonitor are two third-party programs that will monitor system temperatures with the sensors your motherboard already has.

Not sure what to recommend with OC'ing software. I don't diddle around too much with that. For video recording, I have heard of a lot of people using FRAPS, which is fairly easy to use.

Couple of things I always add......

OCCT - GPU / CPU Torture testing / voltage and temperature monitoring
3D Mark - Grahics testing
Ccleaner - registry tool
Cleanup - Disk Cleaner
FBackup - Backup program
Furmark - Graphics Testing
Memtest86+ - Memory testing
Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel - Startup program Controller
AfterBurner Beta - GFX Overlcoicking Tool
Asus TweakIt - As above
CoreTemp or RealTemp - CPU monitor

Sure im forgetting a few
