Installing drivers for a new build.

[MrJB]

Hey,

so I will attempt my first build ever sometime next week. I have read some guides about building your own rig and found most of them extremly informative. However I have yet to find a clear guide on what or in what order to install drivers.
First of all will i have to install any drivers for my motherboard (Formula Rampage 775 socket , so a bit on the old side)?
Secondly i will have a PowerColor hd 5850, what are the best drivers to use currently?
And in which order should I install drivers, and are there any other drivers I hsould install?

thanks jerry

Hmm im jsut a bit worried cause many people seem to have issues with the 5850 drivers. I jsut hope that the mobo and the ram I got will be fine (as i bought them of a mate a year ago.) Mobo was a replacement though, so its brand new and has never been used.

Hey panta, i already have my parts.
I am gonna reuse a q6600 on a formula rampage board and 8gb of corsair ddr2 800mhz ram.
I got myself a 5850, a spinpoint f3, a 750w bequiet darkpower pro and a titan fenrir as the cpu cooler. (and as case a antec 902).

Am i likely to run into any issues with that? I can if need be get myself an i5 setup but i would rather not atm.

thanks

ok thanks panta.

Yeah I heard the q6600 overclocks nicely as well, so once I have a stable system I will give that a try.

In any case if I run into any problems I can always just ask for help on here.
