You need pretty much everything except for any BIOS utility and utility programs.

I just looked at the page for your motherboard and yes.

Ya, your going to need pretty much all the drivers on the list plus you should update your bios to the newest version if you haven't yet. For the drivers you just have to download the newest version of it. Also remove all those sound programs, they are just bloatware imo.

Alright so, i should get all the stuff, like asus homecloud, asus online storage n stuff ??? well uh... alright i uh.... guess ill just download everything except realtek audio manager, cuz like razer synapse is one of THE BEST sound software ive used, the bass boost is sooooo deep and nice, and the equalizer is real sweet tho, ive tried MANY sound programs but that one takes the cake.. so yeah , thanks for the replies yooo appreciated !!

You only need to download the latest driver.

No, don't download the utilities as they are just bloatware. Just download the drivers. 

[W33dnhit]

 u mean the realtek one ?? or all those others with versions on them ?

I don't think he's listening to us. He's too far gone. There's nothing we can do.

Scroll down the list and look the names of the downloads. They have the word drivers in it. Download only those, restart only after you installed everything as that will save time. And also they are labeled with dates, look at the newest one.
