So I finished building and installing the OS through the Daz loader last night. Played a couple games of League of Legends (only game I have installed right now). Seemed to do good. Quality is very nice from what I am accustomed to. 65-80 fps on ultra settings.
Is there anything that I should do to make sure everything is running ok? I'm new to pc building and do not know if there are any other steps that should be taken after completing a build.

Stress testing is generally a good idea, but everyday gaming is a pretty good test for gpu stability, temperatures, etc.
You could download a free trial of AIDA64 to test CPU and mem for a few hours, but not totally necessary. Use a monitoring program to watch CPU and gpu temps (hwmonitor, realtemp, gpu-z, etc)
If you used the CDs tha came with your hardware to install drivers, go online and download the latest drivers-- especially the video card drivers. Try the latest beta.
