Hi guys, after months and months of work on my build I finally got a post. Should I install windows and then my GPU, or should I attempt to install with the GPU? I think without would be easiest... what do you think?

Thanks!

Well disk got problem that it may have outdated drivers so it's best to download latest drivers for your system. It should be same for every component. Maybe short of bios which you should probably let be as it is unless you need to flash it to fix something.

But for initial install you can use disk drivers aswell and download new later.

You can put everything inside and install after it should work fine. Windows may load some default drivers for GPU or will use integrated GPU (if it have it) until you install proper drivers. It should cause no problems either way.

Awesome. And I heard that I should never insert the driver discs and instead download the latest drivers online. What's your recommendation on that? Thanks!
