Hello! I'm excited to start building my first PC. My main concerns are about the operating system and drivers. Do anyone have helpful tips or guides on installing them easily? Also, I'm unsure about overclocking. Are there any good tips or videos for optimizing my CPU and GPU? I'm planning to use the MSI 980 Ti and the 4690K. Should I choose the EVGA 980 Ti instead of MSI, or is it still necessary to overclock the EVGA version? Thanks!

For PC drivers it's straightforward—download each one from the manufacturer’s site and save them to a USB drive. Once Windows is installed, simply install the driver from that USB. For the GPU, you can purchase an overclocked version from any maker or opt for a budget model and perform the overclocking yourself using tools like Afterburner.
