first time builder question.

[4pbears]

i am a first time builder, and will be using the x58a-oc board. i have downloaded the owners manual and have read it 3 times, and have a question. nowhere in the manual does it say when to install the monitor/drivers the graphics cards/drivers, and the keyboard and mouse. any advice on when to do these things will be greatly appreciated.


thanks.

Re: first time builder question.

just put everything together,install your ram and graphics card,hdd's ect then boot up,your gpu/keyboard/mouse/monitor should work without drivers,then install your os,if win7 it should find/install all needed drivers for you,like lan usb ect,its then up to you to donwload/install latest versions from gigabytes website,lastly download/install your graphic card drivers,either from nvidia or ati,then everything will be upto date

dont worry everything will work in its basic state,without drivers things like graphics card and monitor untill you install drivers for them
