I just finished my first computer build today and I was wondering, how do I monitor my fan speeds, temps, and overclock without going to the BIOS? I see people do it all the time on YouTube and I've never payed attention to the software that they use. So what software should I get?

My PC: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CTcXt6 < I'm planning on upgrading very soon, even though I just built it.
