If windows automatically detecting them you don't need the CDs but if not you need the CDs.

If you need you can download it from manufatures web site for Free

You can just download them from the manufactures website.  That also allows you to have the most current drivers.

On your graphics card and motherboard manufacturers site should be the drivers you seek. In a matter of fact, they should be the latest drivers for your parts.

You can download the newest drivers from the manufactures website, you don't need a disc.

If you want the performance you payed for, you NEED the graphics card and motherboard drivers.  There are a few things I will run off of windows drivers, but not many.

No you don't need the disc. You can download them now before you build your new system and burn them to CD's. Or just download them after OS installation. Your computer will run without the drivers, it will just run like crap until you get the correct ones.

Also with how they constantly update drivers, the ones that came with you mobo and GPU are already outdated.  When I reformat I always re-download important drivers.
