I use Software Inspectors, this covers windows security etc, for things like GPUs it is best to go to the manufactures site for drivers as auto update applications like (driver robot) can mess your system up - eg - ATI driver update - it may update the driver but not the Catalyst then your GPU wont work right .

Doing it manually works best There aren't many things that need regular driver updates, as long as everything works fine then the graphics card drivers are the only ones that should be updated on a regular basis. Windows Update will take care of network adapters etc...

Its always a good idea before any system changes to make a system restore point and / or if you use a full backup application (eg) Acronis True Image / Paragon Drive Backup, make a full backup archive.
