    Below are the links and their recommended installation order.

    Note 1: Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools then right click on Services and send it to the desktop as a shortcut. Reason being, it is best to have the Windows Driver Foundation set to Automatic rather than manual during the drivers installation.

    What I recommend you to do is after every restart, double click on that Services shortcut that we created on the desktop and double check that the Windows Driver Foundation has not been set back to manual. Some drivers set it back to manual.

    Failure to have the Windows Driver Foundation driver may result in some drivers not properly being installed properly.

    Note 2: When asked to reboot, for the love of God you have a super fast system, follow the instructions and reboot it would only take a few seconds. do not take any shortcuts, I personally reboot after every driver installation whether or not I was asked to reboot by the driver and/or Windows itself.

    Windows 10 Drivers:

    1) Intel Chipset Software v10.1.1.44

    2) Intel HD Graphics 630 Driver v22.20.16.4708

    then

    nVIDIA GeForce Driver v385.41
    nVIDIA GeForce Experience v3.9.0.61
    (Optional)
    Also, see this:
    nVIDIA Telemetry in their latest drivers


    3) Intel Rapid Storage Technology v15.5.0.1051
    RAID Driver v15.5.0.1051


    4) Realtek ALC899 HD Audio Driver v6.0.1.8172/Nahimic v2.3.21
    Install the Realtek HD Audio Driver first then reboot, then install Nahimic then reboot

    5) Killer E2500 LAN Drivers v9.0.0.46 (go to device manager, then right click on the ethernet controller(s), then choose Update Driver Software, then manually browse to the folder which you extracted)

    This way we have the driver installed but without the problematic Bandwidth Control tools that are available in the full suite.

    6) Realtek Card Reader Driver v10.0.14393.31228

    7)
    - Intel WLAN Driver v19.70.0 / BT v19.71.0
    - Killer WLAN Driver v12.0.0.438/BT v10.0.0.438 / [Killer Suite links removed due to how many problems it creates, stick to installing the drivers manually via device manager]


    8) Elantech FingerPrint TouchPad Driver v15.13.4.5

    9) Intel Management Engine Components v11.7.0.1011

    10) ENE Radio Switch for Airplane Mode v1.1.4.0

    11) Intel Thunderbolt Driver v16.3.61.2

    12) Dragon Center v1.2.1707.2501

    13) SteelSeries Engine v3.10.6 [After installing and rebooting, click on the taskbar icon, go to settings from the main GUI, disable update notification and automatic updates, only use the version from MSI]

    14) MSI True Color v2.0.0.034

    15) MSI Battery Calibration v1.0.1609.1901

    16) Sizing Options v3.0.1607.2201

    17) Help Desk v1.0.1610.3101

    18) System Control Manager v13.017.06089

    19) Intel Extreme Tuning Utility v6.2.0.24

    I don't play games and have no idea about what those games are or how they perform.

    I recommend doing it the right way and post a detailed thread in the: What Notebook Should I Buy?

    Then use this forum to properly fill in all the required details:
    ### What Should I Buy FORM (Must Read Before Posting!) ###
