I'm thinking about formatting Windows and reinstalling my own Windows then download and installing drivers. Which drivers are essential?

Most important are: Ethernet, Chipset and Display drivers.

 

The rest should be recognized automatically, unless you install XP :P

 

Be sure to have them on a USB Stick. After installing the OS, go to the device manager and check if anything has an ! in front of it. These you will need to install by hand.

 

My Setup: 
CPU: i7 4790 @3800 MHz, MB: MSI H87-G41, Grafik: Gigabyte GTX 1080TI, RAM: 2x 8GB DDR3 (1600), Storage: Samsung SSD 850 Evo

Yeah I've made a folder on a USB stick for storing the drivers. Thanks for the reply.
