Hi,
First off,i know very little about pc's so you'll have to bear with me.
I have ordered a custom built pc from Overclockers.On advice i didn't include a disk drive (you won't use them,i was told).So now i have set the pc up,it comes with disks for the Motherboard and Graphics Card.
Is it best to just order a disk drive to load them or is it just as easy to download the drives off the net?
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated :)
 
I have looked on the manufacturers website and there are 12 downloads for the motherboard.I don't know which one i need.maybe all of them?

The PC is for my son.He built it as he says the PC is better than PS4/XBOX.All i know is it's bloody expensive!
 
There can be quite a few for the downloads :eek:

Can you list the items?

Of course it will far superior than any console! :D
 
The mother board is a Gigabyte Z97-HD3

I have highlighted the ones I would have installed, if your using a external gpu then don't worry about the Intel one.
 
No probs :)

Windows might of downloaded some of the drivers automatically so you might message some drivers already exist or it may only have a uninstall option.
