Essential programs for general use/gaming

[Commissar Matt]

I've got a new build, could you give me a list of essential programs/apps? i'm running win 7, and the build is for gaming/general use

 

[rgd1101]

firefox

 

[brutalv]

notepad

 

[ttjambe]

Generally:
Browser: Firefox, Chrome, Opera whatever your into
On-Demand Scanner: MBAM (For those really suspicious files)
Gamebooster: 3.4, not the Razer version it sucks
Overclock and Monitoring Utilities: k10stat and coretemp

I gave a general list of what I like to install first on a new pc. There's alot more and generally I just DL and install as I need them
