All of the drivers.

But in all seriousness, most if not all of the drivers can be found on the manufacturers website. Sometimes they will include a cd in the box. Windows will also try to auto magically install the hardware drivers, but sometimes they aren't the most up to date.

Nice parts by the way, you should post a photo when you get everything up and running.

I just use drivers Windows grabs automatically, except the video card driver which I'm downloading from the GPU designer (AMD or Nvidia)

Basic drivers are installed by windows, looking at your picture you will need only Logitech software and cooler master software for being able to extra functions of you peripherals.+ NVIDIA currrent drivers.

Also you should probably get some case fans and cpu cooler.Stock ryzen cooler is abysmal,don't get me wrong it will work,but your cpu will get hot.

Assemble the parts before you put them in the PC to make sure it all works.

Ok, guess I'll leave it up to windows then if there won't be a problem. So the rest I'd need is logitech, coolermaster, Nvidia drivers.(Forgot to include my gpu in the pic but it's a gigabyte rtx 2060 gaming oc) @XcooolYeah I wasn't thinking of overclocking the cpu at first but now I feel like ocing it.... But the shipping and tax is so high I don't think I'll get anything from Amazon now. Maybe 3 years down the line when I feel like upgrading. I'll check my local stores to see if they have anything decent.

Yeah I'll need to find some time off work to do that. I left it in the office because I want to use the data there to download everything I need. (Ryzen 2600 came with a gift code for The Division 2)

Thanks, I kept rethinking what parts to get but I'm pretty happy with what I got. I will definitely post a pic up after it's done.

Ok so I got my pc together. I wanted to test if my  parts are working or not so I tested the system with cpu, ram and fans installed. I plugged in my  monitor but I don't get any signal. 

The motherboard led lights up and the cpu cooler and system fans work. Should I have something pop up on my monitor with only those components installed? 

 

Thanks in advance!

Update:

Everything works fine! Now I just need to do some updates!

But does it always take so long to update....? @Xcoool @Jurrunio @CodeNova

It's been 20 minutes now and it still hasn't restarted yet..

That looks slick, you did a nice job, and I think the white case really makes it pop.

Thanks, but does it usually take more than half an hour for it to restart?

I'm about to get off work soon and I don't like the idea of leaving it on through the night..

 

I'll take proper pics of it later and post it in the new builds. I actually thought it'd be more difficult to be honest, I'm just glad it posted the first time! lol

Leaving it on shouldn't hurt anything, but 30min to power off is unusual.

Yeah... do you know of any situation where it would take this long to restart?

It could be updating, or it might be having trouble closing a program in the background. This isn't recommended, but holding the power button down for 15 seconds will power off the pc immediately (similar to pulling the plug).

I think I'll just leave it overnight. Don't want to do anything to damage my new build. Hopefully it's just downloading some updates.

that's a wise choice, looking forward to seeing your build on the build thread.
