Solution
MSI Afterburner/Kombustor -OCing for the graphics card, as well as fan speeds
AVAST and Malwarebytes- The best in free antvirus and removal
CPU/GPU-Z, make sure your specs are working properly
Drivers for obvious reasons
Chrome and Firefox- Chrome for the main, FF for backup
Skype, steam, battle.net, origin- Games, why else?
Matlab, C++, Propeller, Java- Classes :/
And various peripheral software- Razer Synapse, corsair gaming, etc.
msi afterburner- i use it to overclock every gpu and it works flawlessly
speedfan- easy temp monitoring
Windirstat- helps find all the missing space in drives
vmware player- run a virtual os that you can test risky programs or do pretty much whatever you want.
passmark- my favorite benchmark
putty-ssh client
bionix wallpaper- set a gif as backround
rufus- make bootable usb drives

and nice build btw
