Hello!
I do not know which drivers to choose for my motherboard and video card
My motherboard is going to be a 970 Extreme3. Are these the correct drivers: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3/?cat=Downlo...

Do I only need the AMD all in one driver?

What drivers do I need for my video card? My video card is going to be a XFX Radeon R9 280X
Are these the correct drivers: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Window...

Do I only need the AMD Catalyst Driver?

Thank You for your help!

:)

You should not need to update any drivers for your mobo, only if you are finding issues with it. As for the AMD drivers, all you need is the Catalyst. It will install all the drivers needed for you plus it is a nifty program otherwise. :)

But what drivers should I install for my motherboard when I put together my pc. Should I just use the CD that comes with the motherboard? And when I install Catalyst will it install all the drivers need for my video card?

Using the CD that came with the mobo will be completely fine. :)  When installing the Catalyst it will also install all the AMD drivers you need automatically.

So can I put the Catalyst on a USB drive? You have been of great help!
Thank You!

Also, will the drivers update automatically? Oh, and will DirectX download by itself or...

You can set it up to where the drivers update automatically. I believe you can put Catalyst on an USB drive. If I remember correctly, Direct X should install automatically as when the O.S is installed. If not the Catalyst should also put it on. Plus many games if it needs it, will try to install the version needed anyways.

Also, would this be the chain of actions:

1.Put together my pc parts
2.Install Windows
3.Put the mobo disc and install its drivers
4. Connect to the internet and download Catalyst?

Also, is this the correct Catalyst download? http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Window...

That would be correct, yes. And that is the correct Catalyst.

That is the correct Catalyst if I'm using Windows 7 64bit, if I'll be using Windows 8.1 64bit I'll need a different version, right?
