I recently just built a PC and I was curious to know if there were any tests that I can do to check all my parts before I send in my rebates. I'm mainly worried about the video card.

The video card is an xfx Radeon DD 7850 1GB.
 
Run Prime95 and Furmark which will stress test your ram , cpu & gpu. I've got an XFX card and found that it's faulty , even after the RMA and a new card they sent out it's also faulty. The capacitor on it's blown. So I would recommend you run a intense game and listen out for any high pitch noise coming off your card. It shouldn't make any noise so hold your gpu fan and listen if it makes a noise return it !
