[davidklein2611]

I'm looking to build my first gaming pc but i have no idea what driver's i need to install.
My build:

-Gigabyte GA-Z270-Gaming K3
-Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming
-Intel Core i7 7700K
-Scythe Mugen 5 PCGH Edition (Don't know if this is needed but i thought i'd just throw it out there)
-Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB
-Corsair PSU CS Modular CS650M
-Samsung 960 EVO 250GB
-Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 (2x8gb)

First, I would point out that your PSU is not exactly to the task. CSm is lower quality line, it would be fine for an entrance level rig, but not for such costly machine as yours.
As for drivers, most important are motherboard drivers (chipset, IME, sound device, and LAN are required for sure). GPU drivers too, but Windows is good at installing them on its own.

if installing windows 10 make sure the Network driver is available first thing after install. connect to the network and you can download all the rest of the drivers from the makers website. the CD that come with the system parts will be well outdated so best to install the newest from the website.

windows 7/8 may require the USB drivers be installed first, have a PS/2 keyboard in case the USB ports need drivers. purple round plug or half purple/half green plug on motherboard

Oh really? I entered everything at PcPartPicker and it said that everything was fine, my friend almost has the same build and he has no problems.

PartPicker only checks compatibility, and of course, it is compatible. But it does not check quality.

I agree with the CSM, it is an older model, entry level gold unit.
I would suggest the seasonic G series or the EVGA G2/G3. if you prefer the corsair brand get an RMx that have a 10 year warranty.
