Hey, everyone! New member, nice ta meetcha.
I'm putting together a new build and the part I often trip myself up on is installing the drivers and such from the manufacturer's website. Asrock seem to be doing a better job than most I've used before, since most have "Driver" in their name. So often I've downloaded stuff only to find it's a dumb utility that's not as useful as it could be or just isn't relevent to me.

That said, I'd still like some confirmation of what I should get, since there are no descriptions. For example, does the AMD All In 1 come with all the drivers and such in a single package, or is that just a thing by itself and I need the others as well?
Are some of the utilities actually useful or even required?
Second question, I'm still kinda old school with PC building, my last build that I'm still using is an i7 920. Been saving up for a while for this new one. My point is I was taught "Leave the BIOS alone unless you have a problem and you can see the BIOS update will fix it"
But I hear that's not so true any more? I'm wondering if I'll need to update the BIOS out of the box. I know the x570 supports Ryzen Gen 3 out of the box, but I'd like to get the best experience.
Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 3700x
Mobo: ASRock X570 Taichi
GPU: Asus GeForce RTX2080 Super
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 3200
Thanks in advance =)
