Essential things to do:

1 - Go into BIOS and turn on XMP and Resizable BAR
2 - Run MEMTEST86 to check memory (turn off XMP if necessary)
3 - Download Cinebench and HWMonitor or HWInfo and run benchmark
4 - Check benchmark score against "normal" ones to see if yours is significantly lower
5 - Check max temps to ensure CPU is not too hot (and GPU while you're there)
6 - Download latest graphics drivers (use GeForce Experience)
7 - Check for Windows updates
8 - Download Intel Software updater (if you have an Intel CPU)
9 - Download motherboard software to check for essential updates
