Drivers?

Okay so tomorrow my new parts are going to arrive (first parts actually since it's my first actual rig) and I will be putting everything together. Since I've always had laptops I am not 100% sure how many drivers are there for a desktop PC.

I know about the GPU, chipset, audio, LAN, SATA RAID/AHCI, VGA. Is there anything else I'm missing in here?

Ok great to know I got everything I need

And Yes Pr3d4t0r, it is a brand new build ( the one in my signature ).

Another question I have to ask is about the Windows 8.1 installation. Since I didn't get a CD-Rom for my build, I will have to do it with an USB.

Do you guys know any good ways of installing it besides the program offered by Microsoft on their website ?

(Windows 8.1 is supposed to come with a DVD since I didn't want to go full Jack Sparrow with a new rig like this

)

Oh so it will just work normally if I can pull out the ISO from the DVD ? Well that'll be easy then

Okay I got it now

So there's no need for the program Microsoft is showing off on their website really.

Just copy the files from the DVD onto USB, sort the BIOS so it boots from the usb first and then install everything on the SSD.

Great ! Thanks for helping me out

I shall post some pics once everything is nicely finished and done. This build will look pretty good
