The problem is ive heard like 4-5 different versions and im now really lost as to what comes first (from what i hear win 10 will have a lot of the drivers on board, hence you will not need at many to install during install) for ex:

1) Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 (it will be updated later)
2) INF Driver
3) ASMedia SATA3 Driver (will download the latest from site)
4) ASMedia USB3.0 Driver (same as above)
5) ME Driver
6) Intel USB3.0 Driver
7) RealTek LAN
8) Intel LAN
9) GPU Driver
10) Windows SP1 + other Updates.


Warning: Spoiler! (Click to hide)
1) INF Driver
2) kmdf-1.11-Win-6.1-x64 (the MS update)
3) Intel Management software + driver
5) Intel AHCI RAID Driver
6) ASMedia USB3.0 Driver
7) Intel USB3.0 Driver
8) RealTek LAN
9) Intel LAN
10) NVIDIA Driver
11) Windows SP1 + All Updates
12) Soundcard's driver

etc,
thanks

It matters little.
I usually install drivers that come on the cd that comes with the motherboard first.
That gives you the lan drivers so you can access the internet.
