hi i have decided to build my own computer i need to know when i install windows 7 on this brand new computer will it install all the drivers automaticaly for me?

will i need to download extra drivers online for my motherboard or any other component i have ? i know my graphics card needs its own drivers to work properly, but as far as i know, installing windows 7 should do the rest right?
 
First of all : Will you be building a whole new system or just upgrading a few parts?

Straigth answer would be that no, Windows 7 does not have ALL the specific drivers for every single motherboard/graphics card available.

You will receive a DVD with the motherboard you buy that was all the relevant drivers. Same goes for a graphics card.
