Hey folks here at Toms hardware, my first built is finally complete! She is a beauty and runs extremely smooth. Was playing Rift and Tera in ultra and saw nothing but good results!
For my first built I really did a lot of research here on TM and a lot of you helped a lot, much appreciated all the feedback and help received from the community.

I'm looking for software to do some general testing and temperature checks to ensure everything is constantly working fine.

Thanks for you time!
 
Solution
IntelBurnTest for CPU and MEM stability testing.
Furmark for GPU stability testing.
3dmark for a quick GPU performance check.
SiSoftware Sandra for general performance check.
HWMonitor for system temps check.
MSI Afterburner for GPU checks and performance overlay while gaming (with RivaTunner plug-in)

Edit:
Yeah forgot about CPU-z and GPU-z, those shows some valuable informations about those 2 parts.

Piriform's Speccy is a freeware that gives motherboard, cpu and gpu temps as well as other specifications. I also like Belarc Advisor, which will tell you needed security updates and your software keys. I'm sure others will have other suggestions for more sophisticated diagnostic tests even beyond CPU-Z etc.
