Hi, I'm busy readying myself for my first build. Assuming all goes well, what parameters should I monitor on the PC to assess it's performance?

Also, how do I monitor or measure these performance indicators?

Thanks

Important rule after building a pc is to run at test it with stress/stability test and benchmarks test while closely monitoring heat on all components. Run it straight for several hours and while carefully monitoring system performance.
