I've googled a bit and wanted to double check here first. What I'm most concerned about is step 2 thru 4 steps. These drivers I got from the asus web site and I only want the necessary drivers. Is my order correct for the first four drivers as least ?

1.Windows 7 x64
2.Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility V9.3.0.1019
3.Intel Management Engine Interface V8.0.0.1262
4.Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology Driver Software V10.5.0.1026

5.USB 3.0 Driver
6.NVIDIA Display Driver
7.LAN Driver
8.Audio Driver
9.Bluetooth Driver
 
Chipset, IME, GPU, reboot, run WEI if you have an SSD (sets the OS up for it), then LAN, Audio, and whatever else.

IRST only if you use it. same with BT do you use it?

How do I know if I need IRST ?

This is my rig:
i5 2500k
ASUS P8P67
8GB DDR3 1600
GTX 660
2TB 7200 for the OS/Windows 7 64-bit
I also have two 3TB internal for storage, no raid.
