What you should get are the LAN or Wifi network drivers, many times default windows drivers will limit LAN speeds

The sound drivers although if the default windows ones are working for you then they should be fine. And alot of headsets actually have their own software to handle sound

You should also download the chipset drivers.

Also install the latest GPU driver for your card

None of these should cause sluggish behavior, its only when you download "utility" stuff that like RGB or Fan controls that can potentially eat up resources.

Gotcha, i will delete the gigabyte app center and just download the stuff. when you say chipset drivers you mean the one you get from AMD website itself?

also any other stuff i need to install?

The mobo support page has all the necessary drivers you need including the chipset.

Hopefully after this it will register my ram speeds correctly

If your RAM speed is showing as slower then the advertised speed you most likely will have to go into the BIOS and enable the XMP profile.
