if you go the overclockers route then tell them you dont want bloatware installed. its bloatware that slows modern pc's down. for instance you dont need driver software/apps you only need the drivers installed as windows takes care of everything these days and i wouldn't be surprised if win10 already had most of what you need native. you also want recovery medium like a thumbdrive as these can cost £40odd separate.

most driver apps report home to check for updates which is not needed.

DONT install any other antivirus software and stick with the one that comes with windows.

also not many people know but you can point your user folders like my documents and even your desktop to a separate or removable drive so if your pc goes down you have all your data.
