Hello community,
It's been a couple months since I last asked the community for information about first time building a PC. Well I finally got all components for this build yesterday. I had bumped up my budget from the previous components list that I wrote in here.
I brought an optical drive when I planned to get the case which I had wanted for so long. My Win10 OS is on disc and Windows Office is on disc too. But due to shipping issues. I had to change the case so I got myself a sexy In Win 909 but these don't support any 5'25" drive bays tho.
My questions start here.
1) If I were to use the optical drive, would it still work outside of the PC?
2) Should I use the disc that came with my MoBo to install drivers? If not, how do I install and update BIOS from a thumb drive.
3) If I use a thumb drive, which updates should I download? BIOS or BIOS Utilities?
4) On the ASUS website, there are a whole bunch of drivers that I could download. Do I need all of them? If so how do I install everyone of them? If not, which ones or one should I mainly just install?
5) Should I update all MoBo BIOS and such first before I install OS?
I pulled my old PC apart to use it as a build reference only to realise I would need a working PC to download drivers for new PC. Fortunately I found an old but working laptop in my room (last system update was back in 2011
).
I am like a bag of fail moments and I consider myself to be a complete brain dead noob when it comes to technologies. I panicked and stressed over when building this PC. But fortunately all lights came on and PC started up perfectly last night. Btw is CPU temp of around 14-15 degrees Celsius okay at idle? Idk my old PC idles at 47 so I'm unsure.
PC parts list.
MoBo: ASUS ROG Maximus IX Formula
CPU: Intel i7-7700k
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB @ 3000mhz
GPU: ASUS STRIX 1080 TI OC
SSD: Samsung 960 EVO 500GB
HDD: Western Digital Black 6Tb
Sorry for long post.
But thank you kindly.
