So I got my first custom built system up and running with no problems. Set it to boot from disk. slipped the 7rc disk in, worked great. Then switched it back to boot from harddrive. It looks so amazing with all its led lights all light up like a christmas tree. I got lots of questions as always though.

I take it I should install chipset drivers. Where's the best place to get them? How do I know what to get?
What about updating the BIOS? Should I do that? How? lol.
My graphics card drivers won't install because it only supports vista and xp. I guess I must go to EVGAs site and download windows 7 drivers. I can't play the game that came with my comp! call of duty world at war.
Tell me everything I should do when starting a system with fresh OS and all new hardware, software-wise.
What are average temps for CPU/GraphicsCard/System Temp? At idle system temps are 35C and CPU is 32C I don't know how to see the graphics cards temp. I just look at the BIOS and all it tells me is CPU and System temps.
I have a SATA harddrive but the driver says its IDE controller.
