Question Built New PC, slow download speeds

Hello,

Over the past two weeks I have been gathering parts for my new Gaming PC. The main parts include

Intel core I5–8400
GTX 1070 Nivida
Gigabyte H370 Aorus Gaming WiFi mother board

Turned on the PC, Downloaded WIndows (haven’t activated it with a key code yet), and all seems to be functioning.

Until I began downloading the drivers. When downloading the drivers, the files were downloading at extremely low speeds. Even downloading chrome took a couple minutes. I checked my speed —- (Download speed 0.8mbp) What the heck?

Checked my other computer and the speeds were nice and normal.

To recap, I haven’t downloaded any drivers yet, Haven’t activated windows yet, and havent overclocked the GPU (not related.) THe internet is running pretty good, and I can watch YouTube videos only at around 720p.

Any help would be so much appreciated.
