What do i need to do after i install windows. Do i need to use the disks that come in the boxes of my parts? I know that ill have to install something for my wifi card for it to work. And i definitely know i need to install drivers for my gtx 1060 for it to work. How would i do this?
 
Solution
First of all, you have to install the motherboard drivers through the dvd that comes with it. These include base sound,lan etc drivers specifically for this motherboard. Probably your wifi card will come with a cd as well. Install the drivers from there. If it doesnt, see if it works without them (e.g. already preinstalled on windows). If not, then just google the product name and add drivers to the end of it. Select your system version from the websiote that offers them and download them.
Now for the gpu drivers, nvidia doesnt have them stand alone, but implemented on their GeForce Experience program. The gpu will come with a dvd aswell, and you can install it from there. If not, go to nvidia's website (or google geforce experience)...

you also might ask how ill be installing the drivers without the optical drive but I'm gonna plug in the optical drive to the power supply and motherboard sata headers and then ill place it outside the case. Then when I'm done with it ill unplug it and throw it somewhere in my closet.

From then on open the program and download the driver from there, it's really easy to find so i won't go into any details.

Hope i covered you

Yes. Basically install what comes with the computer. Then in order to play games, you'll need some other stuff, like the DX apis, microsoft c++ redistributable etc, which come with the games themselves and install automatically. If you want to do some specific work just tell me and i can tell you what you might possibly need. If any of your parts doesnt come with a dvd/cd just p.m. me with their name and your operating system and i'll search the drivers for you
