I got all my parts picked out thanks to pc part picker. I'm just at the downloading drivers. What drivers do I download? So far i got the internal chip sets in the motherboard, and graphics card, is their anything else such as some type of SSD driver. Here it my computer specs

Intel I7-4470k 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
MSI - Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Corsair - Vengeance Pro 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Crucial - MX500 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive
HIS - Radeon HD 6950 2GB Video Card

Also to save time in the future I'm downloading these drivers in advance and transporting them using a 32gb USB stick

Programs and equipment that need drivers come with drivers on a disc, or else the installer downloads the proper drivers. I suggest you find a driver updater to maintain them. I use www.iobit.com/en/driver-booster.php but only use the free version. You can go to tucows.com to see what else is available

Drivers have to be matched to hardware and programs that use them, so they all have to be together. You don't carry some of them around on a thumb drive.

The computer i'm making isn't goings to have a cd reader. would it be possible to transfer the drivers from cd to USB with a computer that has a cd reader.

Drivers are installed by the program that uses them. There is no reason for you to be concerned at all.
