First time build Windows 7 teething problems

[SMed]

Hi there. Just built my first PC, just installed W7 and I'm having a couple of problems. I don't know what to do next. So far:

1) Can't connect to the internet. Haven't got a wireless card/dongle, but I am running a cable to my router. I know this works, as I've already run Ubuntu (off a USB) and it connected fine. Apart from Ubuntu, I've never connected to the internet via a cable, as I've always had laptops and connected via wifi.

2) Screen resolution not right. I've got a 1920x1080 monitor but the resolution settings are only showing 1280x1024. I'm assuming this is some sort of graphics driver issue (running integrated graphics right now), and that leads me to the next thing...

3) How do I install all the drivers I'm supposed to be installing? I have no idea about these things.


Specs:
CPU: 2500K
Mobo: GA-Z68AP-D3
RAM: 8GB Patriot
SSD: Crucial M4 128GB
No optical drive (but I know how to make a bootable USB drive if needed for anything)
Graphics: integrated right now



Many thanks.

Thanks, yeah I've found the drivers from that site and am downloading them now.

Can I just save them to a USB from my laptop, plug the USB into the new PC and double-click?

ok figured out how to install, just waiting to see if it works.

Sweet. Internet and screen resolution sorted.

Thanks. I may be back though for other things.
