First Build not sure Bios Settings

Forum Motherboards & Memory : Asus First Build not sure Bios Settings

I'm not sure if this is easy or not, because everybody has different components in their builds, but I was wondering if anybody can help me with configuring my Bios settings? Here is my build it is for an HTPC:

MB- ASUS P8Z68-M Pro LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

CPU- Intel Core i3-2125 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I32125

RAM- G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL

SSD- Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

HDD- Western Digital Caviar Green WD30EZRX 3TB IntelliPower SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

ODD- LITE-ON Blu-ray Burner with 3D Playback SATA iHBS212-08 LightScribe Support

PS- PC Power and Cooling Silencer MK III PPCMK3S400 400W ATX 12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

CASE- SILVERSTONE Black Aluminum / 0.8mm SECC Grandia Series GD05B micro-ATX / Mini-DTX / Mini-ITX MB, 1x5.25", 2x3.5"+1x2.5"HDD or 1x3.5"+2x2.5"HDD, 3x120mm golf bladed fan, 11" expansion card capable HTPC Case

OS- Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM

Let me know if you can help me set up my Bios, or if there are a few basic things I should change. My SDD is going to hold the OS and all program files and the HDD will hold all my media files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

first place to start is your motherboard user manual for basic settings
