I haven't given this much thought on builds I've done for my own use so far, but now I'm starting to build systems for other people & I'm putting more effort into making sure everything is done correctly and will remain stable as long as possible (especially under the care & feeding of a typical PC user).
I currently have a fresh build which has all the hardware installed and verified working properly, looking at a completely clean Windows 8.1 desktop. I also have prepared all the 3rd-party drivers and updates needed for the components (INF, GPU, etc).
What's the recommended order to proceed now, given all this stuff that needs doing to finish configuration and hand it off to the new owner?
(Desktop PC, custom build, Windows 8.1 64-bit — if you need more details just ask ^^)
