New PC, new drivers

[greyfeld]

I recently built a new PC, got Windows 7 64-bit loaded up, and now I'm trying to find the newest drivers for my rig.

The problem is, I don't actually know what I should be looking for.

I found a page for the motherboard I'm using here:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=H77%20Pro4/MVP&o=All

But I don't really understand which ones I'm supposed to download and which ones I don't need to bother with. I figured I should at least get the newest ethernet and chipset drivers (and there are probably others I should focus on as well), but I don't know which files are the right ones.

Help?

Yeaaaahh.. I'm not going to pay money for drivers.

All the Realtek drivers (use the newest LAN driver), INF, Intel ME, Lucid Virtu, ASmedia SATA3, Intel RST, Intel USB 3, VGA (Intel HD graphics which is what Lucid Virtu is for)...

All the others are optional.

Others I'd download and install:

Extreme Tuning Utility and XFast USB.

I would hesitate about updating your SATA or Intel RST drivers, if you have no issues with the HDD or SSD. All the others, OK

Do I need to download the VGA driver if I have a GPU I'm going to be getting a driver for?

Also, which driver is the chipset driver?

Nope, no need to update the video

INF is the chipset
