What software should I use to test hardware?

Ranging from RAM to GFX, and anything else as I don't really have a clue. I've not put my PC under any stress as of yet and am not fully comfortable (being a noob and all) with putting a potentially heavy load on it until I see how my PC copes with benching softwares.

Cheers

Thank you cliffo

Do you need to test 1 stick at a time with the RAM or can you do it with both in at the same time?

Thanks guys.

I'm just looking to see that my system operates within the 'norm' temps that air-cooled systems typically do.

I've ran it on Unigine Valley (2576 score) on 1920x1080 on max settings. GPU never went above 58 @100% as well. CPU I believe ran about 60. (temps in Celsius just in case anybody needs to know)
