Hi,

I´m building a gaming PC next month but I don´t know which drivers I need to install (Intel's website is a mess) . The system will have an Intel Core i5 4460, an Asrock Fatal1ty H97 Performance Motherboard and a GTX 970 (from Asus). The OS will be Windows 8.1 64-bit. Can someone tell me (link if possible) which drivers I will need besides these:
-http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20H97%20Performance/index.us.asp?cat=Download&os=Win8a64
-http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us(I will install Geforce Experience anyway)

Thank you

from the ASRock website you should install the following drivers in the order listed: 2, 3, 6, 1, and 9. 10 Is not needed since you have a separate video card.

the utility software programs are optional.

then install your GPU driver.


once these are installed check the Windows Updates Optional area for drivers updates.

But are those really all the drivers I need? I heard some people saying that I needed USB drivers and chipset drivers. Is that true or all the drivers I need can be found in the two links I provided? (sorry by the way for not providing an english link for the motherboard, I forgot to do so)

Thank you
 


Thank you very much
