    I have a favor to ask if it wouldn't be too much..I am not at all savvy in regards to updating drivers/firmware etc...I am expecting delivery of my MSI GT780DXR 406US in just a few days...can anyone with experience owning this notebook list the most important drivers to update? I have read reports that it's advantageous to update the webcam, etc...any tips and tricks to maximize enjoyment of this laptop would be very much appreciated! Even silly minor things such as I heard that the plastic overlay is so tightly fitting that it's actually possible to miss some of it..(covering the microphone)...it's these little silly mundane types of tips that I'm also looking to hear...I try and research as much as possible so as not to make others do the dirty work..but caring for/playing with my 2 year old daughter takes priority : ) Thanks in advance to all who can give me any tips!!

    I do update the nvidia drivers from time to time only for performance enhancement! the other can wait until I face a problem! and that includes directX, chipset drivers, audio drivers, webcam, or update the game itself or install it's patches is there's any performance issue!
