First Custom PC, How-To Benchmark?

[Ins4neN1ghtmare]

Why hello there.

So I just finished building my first custom Desktop yesterday...

ASUS P8Z77-LX
RADEON 6970M
i5-3470k
16GB DDR3
120GB SSD
850w PSU

I've never ran a benchmark before, I've read details on what benchmarking is, and what all the shenanigans means. But where my question lies is, what software am I supposed to use to run said benchmarks?

Thanks in advance.

Hey there! 🙂

Take a look at this page and this site in general if you want to head down the slightly addictive road of benchmarking. http://hwbot.org/benchmarks

Warning: there is no return;)
