Ok so I recently upgraded my PC (with thanks to the good folks here for giving me some guidance). I dont have a dvd drive on my new computer so just downloaded the LAN driver for the motherboard (Gigabyte X99-SLI - Intel Core i7 5820K Six Core CPU & Motherboard Bundle ***£30 Saving***= £455.98)

Should I download and install all of the drivers from the gigabyte website? How about the utilities? There seem to be a lot of utilities which I assume that (for now at least) I dont really need.

Any pointers?

edit - I am running Microsoft 7 64 home edition

Ooops. Thanks.

Actually that was just a blunder in posting up my question, I at least navigated to the correct website to download the lan driver.
 
I clearly need to think about the content of my question before posting! I have updated my first post as well:

I'd recommend Audio, Intel Management Engine, INF, LAN and USB. RST slowed down my SSD! Fast boot from the utilities too.
 
I would download and install all of them except Intel SATA Preinstall driver.

Install Intel inf first then install your gpu drivers then do audio then the rest.
 
Thanks. Will do.

I assume that your comment only relates to "Driver", (you're not suggesting that I install all the utilities?)
