Am I doing it right? (installing software)

[Radec]

I am rubbish with software, and would like any help if I've missed anything or any tips.

Spoiler

i5 3570k, ga-z77-d3h, gtx 970

Just finished a fresh install of Win7 and so far:
- downloaded all important updates that have trickled through (I think)
- chrome for browser
- Avast anti virus & Malwarbytes
- (i dont have a disc with drivers for mobo) so '1D5M', 'Atheros', 'Etron', 'IntetlUSB30'. Whatever they are, found on Gigabyte website for my mobo. Think they're for usb ports and ethernet, most likely wrong about that.
- Nvidia geforce exp for GPU
- MS .NET framework 4.5

And now I'm not sure what else I should install. Apart from non essential software, do you think I'm finished?

Would like a way to control case fans, but can't find anything useful from Gigabyte.

Looks like I have the Intel Managment one.
Need to find a driver for the SM bus controller. the only thing outstanding in device manager.

Also, downloaded easytune, but required the GB app centre. and as soon as that was downloaded, I got a blue screen. After restoring to previous image, before that programme, was all fine again.

Just found a file online, outside of the GB driver pages. "Chipset_10.0.27_Public".
Seemed to have amended that last sm bus controller in device manager..

Thanks for the help with that.

Will just try and search for something else to use for the fans
