hi all,

I built my first pc yesterday, and have now got windows and all my updates done however im a bit stuck on drivers,

I have an MSI 280x and a gigabyte z97 dh3. I used both the disks that came with the parts once i had my os installed, do i still need to update my drivers on the mother board especially seen as it hasn't exactly been out that long?

Also im not sure where i need to get my drivers for the gpu can any one give me a little bit of advice here please

thanks

Just go to the manufacturer websites to get the latest usually.

For the motherboard and most other things I just use the Windows 8 defaults. For the graphics card I would grab this.

sorry to sound simple, does that mean i dont need to touch anything on the motherboard and just down load the line in seen above?

For motherboards I normally let windows install all the drivers, then go into device manager and download the drivers that need installing from the gigabyte website.
GPU I download from the AMD website (the link above)
