Need help with setting up new computer. (Drivers)

[ItsRoxasGaming]

Hello, I'm new to posting in these forums but I've heard Linus say dozens of times how awesome this community is, so I've come to you for help!

Although I'm quite experienced with computers and building them, there is always one issue I have. The drivers.

 

In the next 24 hours I'm going to be upgrading my current rig by moving it into a new case and giving it a SSD, as well as some flashy lights and fans. I'm currently transferring all important data onto a external hard drive so I can then format/wipe the internal one I'm using now. I've also got all the installers for basic programs I'll need like "Chrome, Steam, Avira, etc.." So once my new build is set up, I can just install the OS, Programs, and files onto my new SSD and clean hard drive.

Let me know if I'm doing this correctly, or if there is a easier way. Please

 

Now my question is, what do I do about the drivers? I don't know that much about them, but I remember having to download heaps of them about 2 years ago when I last upgraded my system to a new hard drive.

What ones do I need? Where do I find them?

 

Here are my system specs for those that are willing to help.

 

OS: Windows 8.1 Pro X64

 

CPU: AMD FX-8350 Vishera 32nm Technology

 

RAM: 16 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 Corsair Vengeance

 

Motherboard: Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 (Socket 942)

 

GPU: Geforce GTX 780 (EVGA) 3071mb

 

Hard Drive: Western Digital WDC WD10 00DHTZ-04N21V0 (VelociRaptor)

 

SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 500GB

 

Audio: Logitech G35 Headset.

 

Also, I run 3x ASUS monitors. In case they need bloody drivers as well.

 

 

 

I'm really hoping that there is just some website that will have everything I need in one place Q_Q Or that drivers don't exist and this is just a big overreaction. 

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

you'd need the mobo and gpu drivers. Asus' and Nvidia's website is where you'll find them.

do you have the disc that came with your motherboard?............. first thing you will need is the ethernet driver (LAN) so you can get on the net.  other drivers will be there also. maybe not the newest but good enough to run the machine.

Download the driver now, put it on a usb, then you don't need to use the disc at all (as that will have outdated drivers)

THORP; if you don't install the "LAN" driver you can't get on the net............ that's your connection/driver.

 

op: download THE driver to usb stick. insert it and install driver on your computer. go from there.

You don't need an optical drive at all
