I built my first PC last month and I want to know whether

[Jonh Newman]

Hi guys. I built my first PC last month and I want to know whether it performs the way it should compared to other people with the same parts. Some friends with similar parts say I should get more FPS than I do, but I have no idea how to test properly or what normal looks like for my setup. My parts are an i5-14400F and an RTX 5060 Ti with 32 GB of RAM, if that helps. I followed a guide for the assembly, but I'm not sure I set everything up right in the BIOS. Is there an easy way for a beginner to run a test and compare the results with others?

Good instinct to check, first builds often have something small set wrong, like XMP off or the monitor plugged into the motherboard. The easiest way I know to benchmark your gaming PC is the H2Bench Agent. Install it, run a game, and it captures average FPS and 1% lows, then you can upload the run and see how it lines up with others. Uploads include video proof, so the data isn't just someone's word. It's free and works without an account for basic submission. The catch is that there aren't many measured runs yet, so you may not find someone with your exact parts. Still worth it as a baseline. Do a couple of runs in the same game spot so the numbers are comparable. What CPU and GPU did you go with?
