I was just recently gifted a setup and know nothing about how to properly use it. I do know that it was built or added parts from a base. I got it turned on and reset windows to my account but I’m lost at what to do next. I really only want to use it for gaming and nothing too heavy to run. Any tip help, thanks!

Hello hiddencultwulff, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

Download graphics drivers, you’re gonna have to find what kind of hardware you have so you install the right thing.
I’d also recommend firefox and ublock origin, download steam for games and stuff, the epic games launcher usually has free games every month that will let you own them for free. Good luck, enjoy it
A few tips just on the build of the pc
1) the ram sticks (those glowing sticks on the right of the CPU cooler) are not in the optimal slots. There are 4 slots on the board and normally the optimal slots to use are 2nd from the left and 4th from the left.
2) I’m pretty sure the fan on the CPU cooler (the cooler master block) is blowing counter current to the fans in the case. You should put the fan on the right of the block, blowing into the block.
You can search ways to do this in video form on YouTube.
