We all know that having the best hardware plays a big role in performance but you also need good software to keep that performance, so this thread is dedicated to software that you think is essential for a good user experience and software that you think is the best in what it does like antivirus, music player, video player etc.
Some software that I think are essential:
Adblocker plus and Adblocker edge, if you browse the internet or watch videos on youtube, which I think all of us do then these are essential as they get rid of those pesky ads.
Steam, probably the best digital distribution platform at least for me, I found it very easy to use and allowed me find a lot of game buddies, also I found that all games can be had for dirt cheap during sale events and especially holidays.
Unchecky, for those that install a lot of software on their PC other than games they find that programs always try to put other crap other than what you actually want, well this gets rid of that and saves you precious time.
Some software that I might need for upcoming build:
The best anti-virus free or paid.
PC maintenance software like, I give Advanced System Care as example.
I heard that defragmenting an SSD is bad, so my question is how do I keep it in top performance ?
The best music player, I dont know what to look for here I guess something that is able to play all available music formats ? The reason I am asking is also because I dont know if there are any differences in quality between all the stuff available.
Best video player just like the above.
Some software that is able to update all my other software, I give Driver Booster as example.
