I'm just looking for the right order In What to do once my pic is built. Do I install my os first to my ssd? Then install the drivers for my Mobo? If so do I use the disc that came with my Mobo or go to the maufacturers website? Any other downloads that I will need? This is my first build and just want to have everything in order so I know what to do once my pc is built.

Download drivers for your motherboard (LAN, Chip Set, Audio, VGA) and your graphics card from the manufacturer websites. Install the OS and then the drivers. Once installed, Download and install an Anti-Virus program, an anti-malware program, and any OS updates.

One site I use for all new builds is ninite.com.
Select the individual items you want, and save the resultant .exe on a USB.

Once the OS and drivers are installed, run that exe from the USB. AV, video players, image editors, etc, etc. Installed unattended. All freeware, and any crapware automatically unselected.

So I'm assuming I should be downloading the drivers from another computer then? Saving them to a usb?
