A little simple logic prevails.... The motherboard is the foundation of the system and other components don't run or sometimes even recognize correctly if they aren't set up first, so motherboard drivers come first... then follow the same logic... how can you drive a monitor with it's driver correctly if the video card isn't being run with the proper driver.. so do the video card next, then monitor.

Monitor drivers are seldom needed any more - if the monitor is plug and play, it will take care of itself. If you can get the desired resolution and refresh rate with whatever Windows comes up with, don't bother installing a monitor driver.
