Hi , i just got my new PC
This is my Spec :

PROCESSOR : Intel Core I7 - 4790

MotherBoard : Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 3

RAM : Corsair Vengeance PRO (2x4gb)

GPU : Gigabyte GTX 970

POWER SUPPLY: Thermaltake Smart SE SPS-630M 630W 87+ Bronze

MONITOR : ASUS VX238H

HARD DRIVE : WD Caviar Green 4 TB

SSD : SSD SAMSUNG 120 GB sata3 840 EVO

CASE : HAF 935 Stacker

Heatsink : Hyper 212X Turbo

I already installed all the latest drivers, and windows update

My Questions
1)How to check if each of my components are working properly ? (GPU, etc)
2)Is there any software to monitor my PSU wattage (real-time) ?
3)I Bought 2 UPS "Augen" With 1000VA, and 1500VA which one should i use?
4)My Monitor has 1 Green Dot (Stuck Pixel) how to fix it ? i already use JScreenFix, but only for 20 minutes. any other ideas ? or should i use the JScreenFix again, but with longer duration ? if so how long to run JScreenFix ?

TIA

 
Solution
1) Test with following software (alternative options exist):
RAM: Memtest86 http://www.memtest86.com/
CPU: OCCT http://www.ocbase.com/
GPU: FurMark http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/

4) I've heard of people running those apps/programs overnight so maybe try that. I didn't help my AMOLED screen but maybe other technologies are more susceptible.
