What programs should I download and use to benchmark? I wanna compare my numberd with those I see in reviews to test my system....

Many games already have benchmark utilities built into them (Doom3, FEAR). While others, will allow you to make custom ones (HL2). In order to be able to do this, you will most likely need to enable access to the console if it isn't already. Another good option is to use FRAPS since it lets you bench actual game play, the downside is that your test isn't as easily reproducable. To do this right, you will most likely have to do some research on the games you want to test (e.g. Google "benchmark HL2 how to").
