Help on Which Drivers I Need

So I just bought a new MoBo (AsRock H97M Pro4) and i went to their website to download the drivers. There's a lot of them and most of them i have no idea about. Need help on which ones are the essential that I would need to fully utilize it without getting all the bloatware(?). Same thing for my Graphics Card (Sapphire R9 280X Tri-X Vapor-X) (for some reason the print on the box is vertical, first time seeing it on this orientation. most videos/photos i saw had horizontal print on the box), what should i download on AMD's website?

Thanks

Get the ones label "Chipset" and you should be good.  For the GPU drivers, you should be able to go to amd's website and look it up.

im not going to claim I know what all of them do. to be honest with you and im not really going to research it all since I was about to boot LA Noire.

But from what I know.

Realtek is audio output simple as that

Lan is networking

VGA is video out from the motherboard.

Intel stuff I just get cause its never stuff that has annoyed me or been bloaty or obnoxious.

btw, do i just install this drives on a different pc then copy it on a usb, then just put it in my new build? or do i have to directly download it using my new build?

if basic things like keyboard, mouse, networking, video out is working just download them directly onto the machine you made and install them from there.

also i found a video that says that you should install the mobo chipset first. which one is it on this mobo? it doesnt say anything on the choices it has

 

AsRock has some weird naming scheme. Chipset driver is listed as INF driver.
