Benchmark i used to use a lot with overclocking was this, good thing about it is you can compare your computer to any other thats been tested, works off base score of 1000, score 2000 and yours is twice as fast as base computer, and custompc/bittech.net test all new hardware with it, so you can compare what your running to what you are planning on buying

Blog - Download The CustomPC Media Benchmarks Here | bit-tech.net

theres a little arrow at top right when you run it, it expands to give options tick the dont error on interaction or you wont be able to use computer till its finished, be warned it takes a while

System Tuning Downloads - FileHippo.com
various 3dmark benchmarks are popular but im not a fan

i guess what im looking for something to test my system now and then i can test it again after i run virus and spyware, malware ccleaner etc so i can see if there's a difference in performance.

Per Popeye's suggestion I have used The CustomPC Media Benchmarks. Think that would work for you. I had never used this type of program so I didn't know what to expect. If you download it just let it run. Takes maybe 15 to 20 mins for it to go through everything. Can't remember exactly. I first didn't understand the continuous splashed of graphics but began to realize all apart of the testing.

Actually the little arrow at the top Popeye refers to is more like a double arrow

Are you asking Christ to give you lines now?

I said an arrow, i didnt say it was on its own.

there is a much quicker test, it calculates pi
