Default Fresh PC Build - What do do in BIOS (for Pro Tools) once windows is installed

So, still waiting on my case but it should be here within the next day or 2 meaning my system should be built by Wednesday.

I've been watching a lot of videos and I'm pretty comfortable with the idea of assembling the actual PC now; but It's time to start considering what I should be doing after.

So...assuming everything powers up fine this will be my rough plan of what to do next, please correct me or give feedback if I'm mistaken. Keep in mind I'm coming from Mac and have NEVER worked in BIOS/UEFI before.
Also please correct the order of these steps if I'm mistaken.

1. Everything boots up to Bios, Windows Media thumb drive is plugged in.
2. Don't touch anything in BIOS yet, Perform a clean install of windows
3. Check for updates, update windows and all applicable updates it suggests
4. Get up to date drivers for all of my PC components
5. Reboot back to BIOS and do all of BIOS tweaking, this is where I need help. What specifically in Gigabyte BIOS should I be changing from Default?
6. Once Bios is set up, Install Pro Tools 2020
7. Connect my Audio Interface/Midi Keyboard/Adam A7X/Subpac and download all new drivers for each.
8. Optimize Windows For Pro Tools based on Avids Reccomendations
9. Install all of my AAX Plugins
10. Done?
