3Dmark05 and superpi are always a good start. Looks like a nice balanced PC btw, and i have my feet on a thermaltake soprano right now

Thank you! Do i run any of these for a certain amount of time "is it called beddin in or something" and how do i know alls working as its meant to? Sorry for the noob Qs

nope, just run until they are done. the sandra one has a few different tests, so just run them all one at a time and you can compare your results with others.
