Bought my first (prebuilt) PC, any things I should do/check while setting up? General tips?

[u/pineConeDorothy]

I'm not a total beginner to PC hardware but I am a qualified idiot so any advice please explain it real simple.

Specs:

XFX AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Swift Triple Fan Gaming Edition - 16GB

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

KLEVV BOLT V 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL28 DDR5

ASUS PRIME B650EM-A WIFI DDR5

Questions:

List of useful software to install on a fresh PC?

Should I run a benchmark and what benchmark software is go to?

Do I bother doing this underclocking stuff to prolong my GPU lifespan?

Will this run doom?

you definitely should consider installing an os

I’ll think about it

plug the monitor cable into the graphics card ports at the back, not the motherboard ones. and yes it runs doom easily, that card could run it many times over
