My mobo comes with this lan driver, should I use all of the software it comes with?

Why did I study Haskell?

Yes, I would.

 

Drivers exist to provide a smoother experience, and the Killer drivers make your wired ethernet experience much better, allowing the bandwidth cap to be controlled. Even if you're not using ethernet, install it.

you can install either the killer suite, or the killer drivers standalone. the former will come with software so you can mess with killer-specific network features. but as someone who has killer networking, it isn't very intuitive. you can also install the standalone drivers, which are just the drivers that allow you to use killer ethernet. no software.

But the software does any good to the network? Does it use much cpu?

If you have the option only install the driver and nothing else. Their suite doesn't actually improve anything and imposes bandwidth control on your network adapters so you're screwed if you want full speed to a NAS or other network locations. TL;DR killer networking is shit.
