Hoping somebody can help me with this;

I ordered a computer thinking it would have an OS and all other drivers installed but it's arrived with the Graphics Card Driver Disc, an OS Disc (Windows 7) and a Utility Disc in a separate box. In which order should these be installed?

It's also come with a 6 pin PCI Express power plug for the GTX 550Ti card inside. The system also has some kind of plastic separating the components inside, looks a bit like bubble wrap, should this be removed?

I'm new to setting up computers and so at the moment I'm a bit clueless but I want to get this thing working!!!

Any help is much appreciated,

Cheers.

Windows first, then Utility and GPU drivers. Though you could just download the newest drivers from Nvidias site. The plastic should probably be removed, most likely some transportation safety.

The only driver I install is the networking driver. Once connected online, I get all the latest drivers.
