What's the first thing...

So I finally recieved the last of my parts for my first build yesterday. Gotta go out this morning but hopefully I can start building when I get back and fingers crossed it all goes smoothly.

In the meantime just wanted to know what you guys all do once you get a build complete as I imagine most of you have at least one under your belts. Do you just open a cold one? What programs etc do you install first, whats the first things you do with your new build...

Once I've completed the build and seen bios etc then I'd install Windows, install any and all drivers that I need, check I can get connected to the internet, download a couple of benchmarking/stability testing applications (mainly to see if I'm in the right ballpark for performance) and if all works fine it'll probably be time to head down the pub with my mates anyway.
