Hi, it's been a while since I've set up a new computer and was wondering if anyone could give me a definitive list of what to install in what order on a fresh copy of Win7 64 on the Sabertooth Z77 mobo.

Previously on my older mobos, I used to just install the Intel chipset drivers, video card drivers, then use windows update for the the rest. Nowadays mobos have so many things I'm not sure if this is still the case. I'll be using it with a 3570K CPU, 16gb of ram, and Samsung 830 ssd.

Thanks for any help!
 
I always start with chipset/sata drivers, network and then graphics. Everything after that, It doesn't matter.
 
chipset/mobo, drive, network, graphics.

My general order. Although as stated, usually doesn't matter.

If you're going to SSD i throw in other steps like disabling caching, superfetch, run windows experience assessment(lets windows know you're on an SSD), make sure trim is enabled, set power options,
 
Don't forget about Lucid Virtu software somewhere in there as well if you have it, want it, or trust it.
 
Thanks for the replies, guess I shouldn't have asked what order, but rather what needs to be installed. So far I've got the following, anything else to add on such as Asus specific items? Also read about Intel Rapid Storage somewhere, is that needed as well?


Intel Chipset Drivers
Intel Network Drivers
Graphics Drivers
Lucid Virtu Software
