Looks like a pretty solid build from what i can see from browsing through it ( thats allot to read :sweat: )

As for software some must haves for if your going to be downloading alot of stuff are 7zip and power iso for opening zips and iso's

Also for virus get avast and spybot both are free. also vlc media player for waching things

And aslo if your overclocking get core temp for keeping a eye on cpu temp's and evga precision for overclocking graphics and such.

Thats all i can think of atm will add if i figure out anymore.
