AVG, VLC, Photoshop, WinRAR (7zip probly better tho), Office, CPU-Z, Speedfan, Win32.NetSky.q, Chrome/Firefox, Prime95.
Prime95 is good for stress testing. Used to show stability well but under Win7, it runs stable when games will not so only really good to see thermals under load on all cores.

Skype, msn, winrar, vlc, real temp, cpu-z, gpu-z, display fusion, utorrent, opera+firefox+chorme (have all three open at once usually, so many web pages to keep track of stuff happening), m$ visual studio, mIRC, prime95, msi afterburner
Don't forget anti-virus... I use avast personally as it has a silent gaming mode, which i leave it on all the time.

Try TeraCopy (
http://www.codesector.com/teracopy.php) comes in handy. Allows you to queue copy/cut/paste between your drives. Much quicker mass copy/cut/pastes.
