Hey guys,
First PC build and first post on this forum. I'm at the stage of my build where I need to install my drivers. I've searched this forum for similar questions and have found a few but none that specifically answer my questions. Even after researching which drivers are necessary I am still a little confused as to which of these I need to download.
I have quiet a few questions so I apologize if they get confusing. I will number them as well hopefully making them clearer:
I don't need VGA, I don't think I need LAN, I don't have Optane so I'm good there. So so far it looks like Audio and INF are all I need? What about bluetooth or wireless lan? Any help would be really appreciated everyone!!
For reference, my build is:
Intel Core i7-8700K
Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240
ASRock Z370 Pro4
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4-2666
ADATA XPG SX8200 240GB M.2-2280
Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 7200RPM
EVGA GeForce GTX 10f0 Ti SC
Fractal Designs Focus G
EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Semi-Modular
TP-Link TG-3468 PCI-Express x1 10/100/1000 Mbps
Arctic AC-F12 PWM Rev 2 (x4)

I have quiet a few questions so I apologize if they get confusing. I will number them as well hopefully making them clearer:
First of all, which of these things do you all think I should download??
Second, in my research I have found that Audio, Lan, Chipset, SATA, and USB are the absolutely important drivers (i'm using a discrete graphics card so I don't need the VGA driver). I think #1 will cover audio, #3 is the Chipset, and #7 is the LAN. But I don't see anything here for USB or SATA. The only SATA related image doesn't seem to be a driver and I don't see anything about USB at all.
Also, I am using a wired network adapter AIC instead of the onboard network adapter. Do I still need the Intel Lan driver?
Finally, what are all the items on this list that are not drivers?? Do I need any of them? Why are they there if I don't?
