I am making a new build:
CPU: AMD FX6300
MB: Asus M5A78L-M LE/USB3.0
GPU: EVGA GTX 960

Im going to be installing windows 8.1
Will I need to download the drivers from another computer to a usb?
Links would be very helpful.

First thing I'd do is contact ASUS to see if they're supposed to have Windows 8 drivers available and if not, why. If they recommend using the Windows 7 drivers from their site, then that's what I'd do.

Otherwise, both your LAN and Audio Chipsets are from RealTek. If you need them, I'd probably recommend trying the ones here (if you can find them. I can't at the moment). If the Windows 7 Drivers from ASUS don't work, then I'd probably look to AMD's web site for the Chipset drivers.

Yes. You will need drivers for your graphics card. You can find them easily on the Nvidia website. I would download all of the drivers listed on the motherboard's manufacturer's website, just incase. I've had builds where I had to install a LAN driver before the internet connected.
