Everything on the list except the Intel Rapid Storage Technology, second to last on the list.
Do you have an integrated sound card, if so use Realtek HD Audio drivers then. NVIDIA Graphics Card you can get these from NVIDIA.

These are Preinstall SATA Controller drivers to be put on before the OS, see them on the list from Gigabyte. Give you instructions on how to do this when you reinstall on new hard drive. Can be put in after, suggested to preinstall before, can show you both ways.

Intel SATA Preinstall driver
(For AHCI / RAID Mode)
Note: Windows setup to read from USB thumb drive.

Yes, i know, can be installed now though, but as said usually done during the install of the OS, just before you proceed with it.
