Ok, so I picked out all of the parts I will need for my first gaming computer ( thanks to some help from the Tom's Hardware community) here:

And I got to thinking, and I realized: I have no clue what to do with this thing once I build it. So, can you guys give me some suggestions on what should be the first things I do when I'm finished building this thing, such as setting changes, software, things I should tweak, etc.? I have played games on my friends' computers before, and I seem to have a thing for simulators, third-person shooters (such as ARMA 2: DayZ and Fallout: NV), and puzzle games, but first-person shooters are okay, too. I may or may not OC in the future and get a new cooler, before anyone asks ¯\(°_o)/¯.
