So, for the first time, I am building my own gaming PC, and I have a few questions about setup.

#1: When I first boot my system into BIOS, I will be connecting to my monitor via HDMI. Should I plug the HDMI into the GPU, or into the motherboard?

#2: I am preparing all the drivers I will need in advance, but am kind of unsure about which of these drivers I will need. I will be downloading them onto a flash drive on my current PC and installing them onto the new PC when I get windows installed. From the reading I've done, I know I should download drivers for BIOS, Chipset, LAN, and Audio. But what about the others, like BIOS-Utilities? I plan on connecting a second monitor via VGA, so should I download drivers for that?

Thanks for any help! My build can be found here, for anyone interested.

If your motherboard has HDMI, then for the first time I recommend using it. Install Windows and download all the latest drivers from the manufacturers' websites. Then you can use the HDMI for your video card. Be not to flash the BIOS from Windows. Get as much as you can up to date.
