I got one big question. When I take the pc out of the box and hook everything up, what should I do immediately? I found a good antivirus called Avast. Should I create a restore disk?
Anything I should do, please let me know, thanks!

1.  Hook up to your local internet provider
 
2.  Load an anti virus.
 
3.  Load a game and play until your eyes glaze over.  Drooling
 
Worry about the other stuff later.  Enjoy.  Big%20Smile

Nice, i plan on installing Avast as well.

What games do you think will show off the system best?

But if you just want a graphical powerhouse, I've heard a lot of good things about Metro: Last Light, as far as showcasing system performance goes.

I am a huge minecraft player and the processor will make minecraft good on this. Games like cod or batllefield will probably be OK, graphics card is good, but not amazing. Multi-tasking will be easy. Did you buy the Vanquish?

I was wondering the same thing. I was thinking of setting a restore point basically right out of the box but I'm not sure if it's necessary.

Not a bad idea.  With Windows updating all the time and hardware/software installs, a place to fall back on is good.
 
I also do a Password Reset disc on a thumb drive at some point. Never had to use it, but some I've heard wish they did.
