Hi guys,
so this is my first build and, though i dont have the parts just yet, i am researching and planning out the install process of the os and the drives. i have an asus m5a97 r2.0 mobo coming and i wanted to download the drivers ahead of time in a usb stick so that they are ready to update but when i went on the asus site and went to my mobo, for chipset, there are 5 items in there, all different versions. Am i supposed to download all of them or just the first one? it looks like this when expanded:

it's the same for all the other drivers, they all have multiple versions. would i just need to download the first one or all of them. over all the chipset has 5 downloads, the LAN has 4, audio has 4, and the USB has 3. does that mean i have to download all 16?
i'm noob and want to make sure i get it right.
