Hello everyone, i just finished asembling the parts of my first pc and i don't know what to do next.

Hardware list:
Intel Core i5-6600K
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Mother Gigabyte Ga Z170m D3h Intel Z170 1151 Ddr4
Corsair Vengeance LPX 4GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
MSI GeForce GTX 970
SSD Samsung 250GB
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
EVGA 600W 80+ Bronze
Corsair Carbide Spec-03


I know this questions had been asked a lot and i checked a lot of old threads but there are a lot of different answers. My intention is to install de OS in the SSD, do i need to install de motherboard drivers first in orther to do this?
I don't have an optical drive so i downloaded this drivers from Gigabyte's site
Realtek HD Audio Driver
Intel Management Engine Interface
Intel INF installation
Microsoft Hot fix
Intel LAN driver
Intel SATA Preinstall driver(For AHCI / RAID Mode)
Intel® Rapid Storage Technology
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
Intel USB 3.0 Driver
Intel VGA Driver

And all the F1 to F7 BIOS drivers, plus the GeForce driver from nVidia's site

Should i install the OS first or motherboard drivers? Are the "Utility" drivers neccesary?Do i need to do anything in the BIOS as a first step?

Sorry if this is in the wrong section or has any protocol mistakes, and i apologize for my english.
 
Solution
OS first, the mobo drivers install into the OS. Utility programs are at your discretion - no need to load unless you want them or want to try them. Then load GPU drivers and Win updates last
