No CPU or RAM drivers are needed.
Just download GPU drivers

When you say "Old HDD" - do not try to boot existing Windows there, do a clean install (you don't have to format it).

You're mistaken
Select your OS and then click the little + next to the different section/heading to get it to show you those drivers. Gigabyte only shows you one heading at a time and defaults to Audio I believe. To see Chipset drivers, you need to click that + to expand that heading, which closes the other open section.

[Edit] Begin with your Chipset drivers then the rest.

You should have gotten a disk with the motherboard with your drivers. Usually chipset drivers with your Hard Drive Controller, USBs, LAN and more. If you don't have the disk go to the mfr website pul up your motherboard and go into support. Select your O/S and DL all your MB drivers from there.
