So am I stuck putting all the CD for each of my components in, or can I just download the drivers online?

Download them online. The disk is the absolute LAST resort. Because they are usually outdated. Windows should install most drivers though. The only one I would worry about is the GPU drivers

From the XP days...

"Windows cannot find drivers for your freaking network card, can Windows search online for drivers?"

Windows 10 should install basically every driver for you, including your GPU drivers and software

yeah only use disk if it's not available online (or you need the driver to get your PC online to download the driver... then update that). I had an old RAID card that windows didn't have drivers for and the drivers from what I could tell didn't exist online. Luckily I found the antique disk that came with it and presto working card. But usually the drivers that are online and newer, and USUALLY (not always) more stable

CPU: Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition 3960X | Motherboard: Intel DX79SR "Stormville" | RAM: 32GB G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series DDR3 PC3-12800 (4x 8GB) Quad-Channel | GPU: 2x EVGA GTX 970 FTW 4GB in SLI (I have Many other builds plus 100+ Macs (don't judge me)... Many specs are listed on my profile)
