Any suggestions/recommendations on setting changes, must have apps, or anything I should try out?
I recently built a decent pc for gaming, and now I find myself using Windows more than my iMac.
Also, let me know if I posted this into the right place... Noob on these forums. Thanks

Nice. I just installed one called CAM by NZXT. I'm yet to make any adjustments to it since I installed some Corsair AF120 LED fans.

Oh, ignore my suggestion, I thought you were switching to Mac lol. For Windows I suggest CPU-Z, GPU-Z, HWMonitor/OpenHardwareMonitor for system monitoring, VLC for media, and Open Broadcast Software(OBS) for screen and game capture.

What did you have installed on your Mac and what sort of games will you be playing on your PC? That would give an idea of the software that would be useful.

Spybot Antibeacon, it helps to reduce some of the not so nice parts of Windows.

Go to Ninite. You can just pick which programs you want installed and you get one installer for all of them.

Yep! After working for a bank HQ for a few years, I started working for IBM about 3 months ago.

Thanks guys! I noted some of these down and will check them out. Before this pc, I only used Windows for work things which was mainly all the Microsoft Office apps.
I appreciate it!
