New Build; No Optical Drive

[ifelixdel71]

Hey guyss, I finished putting my build together and installed Windows via USB. Question is: which software should I install manually (I believe only the GPU and MOBO were accompanied by discs). Are they very important?

I think this may be tangentially related to my inability to update my bios. Maybe there was something in the CD that I needed before I can update? I don't know. Either way, am I mostly correct in thinking I need not bother with the GPU's CD since I've already downloaded the newest drivers for it?

Question from ifelixdel71 : "New PC; No Disc Drive"

Hi guys, finished building my pc with Windows installation via USB. My question is as follows: a lot of my components came with discs, but I figured I could download most if not all of their contents off the company website. Thing is, which ones do I need to get? I'm particularly curious about the disk that came with the motherboard, since I've been unable to update my BIOS and I think it may be b/c I'm missing something from that CD. Do you guys also recommend I check out support for the GPU disc? Thanks

You can and should get the drivers for both from the manufacturers website. Anything on the CD is out of date.
