- Once Windows is done, either get a USB stick and download the latest MOBO drivers ( chipset, lan, etc ) and transfer it to your new build and install them like that or use the included disc to only install lan drivers and install the rest of the drivers from the website ( I.E - MSI MOBO, MSI website - AMD video card, AMD website ) so they are the newest and greatest and will have less bugs and glitches.

- Once connected to the internet and you have all your drivers set up and everything looks pretty, download the latest Windows updates. This is absolutely critical before you do anything and it may take a bit of time.

- Once done, download your preferred anti-virus.

- After that, download programs that will help you like [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] to make sure everything is validated ( can also be done in the BIOS ) and [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] to make sure everything is in the safe range.

There are many more programs and benchmarking programs but these should be good for now.

What happens if im using a torrented Windows7?

Same procedure, except you won't be able to download the latest Windows security updates.
