    well, Im not sure since I don't use a wireless card in my rig. I'd assume that you'd need to download the drivers from the manufacturer's website, in order to use the card properly, just like you'd need to download Motherboard and Graphics card drivers as well.

    by the way, if you need some informational videos, I posted a quick 'how to build a pc' video on my youtube channel, just type 'xcylent' into the youtube bar and my channel will pop up. then just click the video for shaky, one-handed pc building goodness! lol.

    Haha ok thanks. Yeah I was meaning to ask, when I have the vital parts - the CPU, motherboard, HDD and RAM in the case and the PSU and I turn it on what will happen and what will I need to do to get it started and to start the OS installation. Or do you do this in your youtube video?

    I don't go through installation of software and drivers in my video, only installation of physical components.
    but, windows installation is really easy, it'll walk you through it.
    also I'd advise you to watch this


    it's an amazingly detailed guide on how to assemble a pc. you could watch my quick 15 minute version, or this 40 minute version which is much more clear & concise.
    then, if you want, you can watch the next part:
    which goes over the installation of all the programs and drivers, which is really important.

    I'd suggest you take 1.5-2 hours out of your night and watch both videos, since they're very VERY well done, and super informative.
    I've watched all three videos in the series around 7 times each, and they're just amazingly informative.

    Oh ok cool I'll watch them, thanks. Yeah I know how to install windows etc. I just don't know the steps inbetween turning the computer on for the first time after putting it together and reaching an installation screen.
