I am looking to buy a new gaming pc that i am going to build myself. I am just wodering what drivers i will need to download when i am done building the pc and how i download them.

Intel core i5 8400

MSI z370-a pro

Corsair Vengeance ddr4 16gb (2x8) 2666mhz RAM

Asus dual geforce gtx 1070

Samsung evo 860 500gb ssd

The support online shows all of the available drivers. Definitely want the chipset and probably the LAN. Windows 10 does a good job of finding drivers but if it's something new or not found you would download them from MSI

Go here MSI Z370-A Pro Support Page

Select your operating systems and download the following drivers:
Onboard VGA
System and Chipset
On-board PIDE/SATA
On-board Audio
LAN Drivers

Save each of these to a known location.
Once downloaded and saved, right-click on each and select "Extract All".
In the Explore window that opens, find and run setup.exe.

The drivers you need will come in the motherboard package on a cd.
They are known to work with your motherboard but may not be the very latest version.
When you run the cd, do not be lazy and select "all" or you will get a bunch of trialware and useless utilities.
Select drivers only.

These drivers will work and get you started. Particularly the lan and usb drivers.
In time, windows may update them, or you can update them yourself, but I would not be in a hurry to do so unless I suspected a problem.
