Run WEI (Windows Experience Index) after all drivers are installed.
Install and update Microsoft Security essentials and add an anti-malware, my preference is Malwarebytes (Free). Then do a full system scan. with MSE * Malwarebytes.
Install = Java, Adobe Reader/Flash, PDF Printer (BullZip - Free) Works amazing, 7zip, Password database (KeePass), iTunes (And migrate database - let me know if you need help there), speccy, essentials (Office and Games >=D ) and work apps to keep from having to go into work...
After this configure your power settings to exactly how you like. If you want recommendations for that let us know.
Do you have an SSD?
Do you have a laptop or PC?
Verify sounds with music and play a game to verify graphics

I have a list of other preferred programs I install, including:
1. Firefox with AdBlock+, NoScript, and Greasemonkey
2. Thunderbird (if I'll use email on it)
3. Java
4. LibreOffice
5. Acrobat (then I clear out the startup junk in MSCONFIG); other PDF readers are available.
