The official DVD's don't include the non-free firmware binaries, but you
can download a separate tarball with the firmware.
There is also an not so well advertised netinst image which already
includes the firmware here:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/7.5.0/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-7.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso
I never install the desktop environment from the iso installer.
Just install the base system, and after the system had booted, and
assuming the network is configured correctly just run aptitude, and go
to
tasks->End user, and select one of the desktop environments.
Or just run one of:
apt-get install task-xfce-desktop
apt-get install task-gnome-desktop
apt-get install task-kde-desktop
apt-get install task-lxde-desktop
