If I should use one at all. I am trying to make my life really easy by downloading software to do jobs for me (If you check my recent post history) Another way to be lazy that i found was to download a software to find driver updates. I am already running the latest drivers. So if i should have one of these software which one should I use?

Probably no point.

 

Also generally not advisable to update anything until absolutely necessary.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Updating drivers is for make your computer works better. Installing software that check your drivers make your computer slower and you'll lose control over that process. Is not worth it.

 

You can download some big driver update packages, but use only extracted drivers from them and only when you can't find driver for some strange device (or old one).

Nothing, most aren't worth it or even bad for you. If you have Win10, OS handles most of updates. If you have utility software with driver, those inform when new update is available (GeForce Experience, AMD thingy, any keyboard/mouse software etc.). For most drivers you really don't need update unless they aren't performing. Even GPU updates are pointless if you are using much older card compared to current gen. For example I used to have 2 year old GPU drivers and only updated them once I got newer card.
