Built pc, what to do now?

[shillien]

Hello, so i am newbie pc builder, i just bought and asembled my 1st gaming pc. Components are:
CPU: intel i7 8700k
GPU: asus geforce gtx 1080 ti OC
RAM: corsair vengence led 3200mhz 16gb dual c.
HDD: wd black 1tb
SSD: samsung evo 850
MOBO: asus rog strix z370e
PSU: evga 750w supernova g3 gold
CPU Cooler: noctua nh d15s + extra cooler
Case: corsair 750d airflow edition

now i read and seen some comments but didnt find any guide on what should i do after i put all of it together, ive seen some saying i need to test ram, set ram to 3200 which isnt on default and check the cpu voltage or something like that. so i guess im asking, after im done with all the hardware stuff and i finnaly turn that pc on what should i watch for? what are the important things to do? i know i need to update bios on my MOBO because it had problems with power delivering and should now be solved but i dont know anything else so all the sugestions and help are welcome.

ty in advance any sorry for my english

Basically get it put together, double check all power connections. First off, install Windows, install all the drivers for your motherboard/chipset. Also Install drivers for your graphics card. Update your bios.

Download something like hwmonitor, and monitor temps and happy gaming.

IF you have not yet assembled it, try reading this sticky. It might save you some time by letting you avoid problems. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems

you can also look on youtube for videos showing assembly, especially how to install the heat sink.

p.s. Nice parts. It should be a beast.

Nice build! When you install Windows, make sure you disconnect the HDD, so boot files don't get written to that drive. This could cause problems down the line if the HDD fails, is replaced or re-formatted. After Windows is installed, power down the PC and connect the HDD.

I guess I've built so many it's like second nature sometimes. But double check all power connections, also did you install standoffs behind your motherboard? Make sure everything seems to be solidly in there as well and that you wired the front panel connections properly.

Nice build! Just download Steam, install any game, and ENJOY THAT GAMING BEAST YOU GOT! 😀

If I might make a recommendation on games. World of Warships. Kind of show paced but addicting and free to play. You can pay but many of the best ships can be had without spending money.
