I am building a new computer for my wife and plan on using an:

AMD socket FM1 A8 3870 3.0Ghz quad core processor
ASUS f1a75-M LE motherboard
Corsair xms3 8gb 1600 memory (2x4)
Western Digital Caviar Blue 750gb hd
OCZ Vertex 120 gb SSD
Coolmax blue 700 watt psu
Pioneer 24x dvdrw
HEC Blitz mid tower case
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Are there any recommended settings that I need to pay close attention too in the BIOS? For example, both the CPU and motherboard have integrated graphics (AMD Radeon HD 6550D and HD 6000, respectively).
