New PC specced and built.. have I missed anything?

[Sdereli]

Hey guys,

I've received all the parts for my build this morning, took me 5 hours to get it all together but I managed it in the end.

My specs are:
i7-4790k processor
gtx 970 gpu
z97 gaming 5 mobo
1 tb ssd


I've installed windows 10 on it through an iso on a usb, my question is have I missed out on doing anything else? as i've never built a pc from scratch I don't know how the drivers and such work. I've managed to install the lan drivers to get my pc online via Ethernet and performed all the system updates required.. is that all I need to do?

many thanks

Hi Sdereli, congrats on your new build!

Since you're using a SSD I recommend looking at this article for optimizing your SSD to run on Windows 10:

Thanks for that link!

And thank you, although I was stressing quite a bit as it was my first build! didn't know where anything went, haha..
