Okay so I just finished my very first PC build and it went very well. Well I lie, it isn't 100% done. At this very moment is is on with Windows 7 working well. I did all the windows updates (very long time) as well as updated my GeForce gtx 650 ti boost. Installed flash and as well as adobe (not sure if i needed those two for a gaming build?) but thanks to CareyHolzmans youtube vids the build has gone great so far. My only question is what else do I need to update? I heard something about an Intel update or something? does my 4670k PCU have updates? Or even my motherboard (ASRock Z87 Extreme3). I already downloaded DayZ and it seemed to run very well but if there are updates I sure wanna take advantage of any benefits to my expensive (to me) computer parts. Also if anyone knows about the BIOS and what messing with the BIOS is all about or Updating the BIOS? I have no clue what that is or what it does. How important is it? I would assume its set up pretty well but just about anything can be made better these days.
Thanks to anyone that can help me with this
