You should always keep all your drivers current for all of your hatdware.

Yes those are important for performance. Those seem to be the via 4in1's and your audio driver/updates. Yes I would say.

Some people say that they do that. I, however, have never uninstalled first.

You can go into Control Panel and look at your hardware devices... you can view the properties of each device. You will be able to view your driver versions there.
