I just did a small form factor build. I've been having terrible issues with installing the drivers from the mobo, and setting up windows 7 after installation (updates take forever....being stuck searching for them basically), everytime I open a browser my cpu and RAM usage go through the roof, averaging at about 80-100% cpu usage and 3-4gb of ram. I expected this new clean install/build to be soooooooooooooooooooooooo easy...but no! If anyone can help that would be amazing!

My specs are: i5-4690 3.5, 64 bit windows 7 installed on samsung 250gb ssd, asrock h97m-itx/ac mobo, 16gb ram, geforce 960gtx gpu

Anyone? This is really frustrating as I have spent a lot of money upgrading my pc. It's basically not usable when I run any application like firefox, chrome, internet explorer, dropbox, skype, installing updates...anything.
