Hey everyone I just recently put together a new system and about to boot it up for the first time but I need some help with my BIOS Settings. I plan to mainly game but I DO NOT plan to overclock.

Specs:
CPU: i5 4590
Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A
Case: NZXT 410
GPU: EVGA GEFORCE GTX 760
RAM: Corsair Vegance 2x4Gb
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
OS: Windowd 7 pro

Thanks in advance for any input!!

What in particular do you need help with? About the only thing you'll have to do is set the BIOS clock. Then install Windows, then drivers that came with your stuff.

Since you wrote that you're not OCing, I'm assuming that applies to RAM as well. But if you'd like to run RAM over 1600, let us know what your RAM speed is.
 
Yeah nowadays there's not really need to tinker the BIOS settings, most come already with optimal values.

At most you need to ensure your SATA mode is in AHCI to get the best performance from your HDD (very likely it is already, or you'll need to reinstall windows hehe).

If not ocing there's not much else really, maybe adjust CPU fan target speeds if you want it to make it less noisy (if it's noise is a problem), perhaps Sleep mode settings if needed.

I just wanted to know if there are any settings that might make my system run better, or even disable unnecessary things. I don't think I need to run my RAM over 1600 though
