I paid $1370 with everything... I think I'll be under $1300 after Mail In rebate!

So far so good!!! I've installed everything... the motherboard utility say my CPU run at 29/30'Celcius @ idle and 52'Celcius @ Prime95 default TEST
What should I do now to fully test the rig? I plan on doing Memtest86 and running Prime95 for a longer period...
Do you guys have any information on how to fully configure the BIOS and stress test everything so my mind is clear and that I can remove RMA out of my head?
Thanks!!!
