Altho windows 7 and 8 will install most of the drivers on the hard drive anyway. The only drivers you may need are the videocard drivers, (If you want more options / features) and the chipset drivers (if they're on the motherboard manufacturer's site) I just finished building a system a few weeks ago. And installed Windows 8. The only drivers I installed, were the chipset, video and audio drivers. Windows 8 installed the drivers for everything else. Altho, there's not much in this case anyway. Only an SSD, a DVD writer a TPM module, and onboard video It depends on the version of Windows you're installing. On what drivers you need |

| 1380903 | 2014-08-06 07:31:00 | You probably won't be able to. They appear to be selling the pc at a price similar to what you would expect to pay if you purchased the parts individually: nz.pcpartpicker.com (which unless there is some kind of sale is almost always the cheapest way for a consumer to buy a pc). If you're only going to be watching movies you really don't need very powerful hardware at all, older low profile graphics cards like the nVidia 210GT and Radeon 5450 should be more than powerful enough. Even integrated Intel stuff should be good enough (HD 3000/4000 should easily be good enough). |
