Chipset -> GPU -> Audio, that's how I always install those. From other peripherals I don't have a specific order.

GPU driver? I'm talking about the gaming computer.
Motherboard chipset driver.

Do you confirm the hd audio option while installing the video card driver?

They're not going to conflict. Just get them installed and call it good.

Back in the Windows XP days, I used to install chipset, then network, then audio, then video, then anything else if applicable. I'm not even sure why it mattered, or if it did at all.

With Windows 10, I don't even install anything besides video.
