Software Installing Help

[Ruins]

I have just built my computer and I guess I have to install all the drivers. Got a DVD for my EVGA 970, Motherboard wireless network adapter and some more I think. Do I go on the internet to install these things? Also if I have to install it by using the DvD how would I install it if i don't have a dvd player (I have a laptop with a DvD player if this helps)?

Always get the latest drivers from the manufacturers website

Grab the networking drivers, and stick them on a usb. install those first, and you can connect to the internet and download the rest. Your motherboard's manufacturers website should have all the necessary ones for your motherboard's features. after that, just go down your component list.

In a lot of unboxing videos they will just toss the disk as if it were a frisby. Honestly it is more useful when used like that.

You go to internet to download installers. On most mobos even ethernet will work without specific drivers. If not, you will need dl drivers with laptop and use method described above. And having DVD drive on laptop won't help that much. Only if you have some drivers only on discs. But then it would require virtual drive and gets really messy and hard for beginner.
