Z77 Extreme6 drivers issues

   Hello everybody
I've to format my rig with following specs:
mobo: z77 Extreme6
CPUI: I3570k
RAM: 8 Gb (2x4Gb) DDR3 G.Skill Ares F3 -1866C9D
GPU: VGA MSI nVidia GeForce GTX760 Twin Frozr
SSD: Samsung 830 128 Gb
HDD: Samsung 750Gb + WD 1000 Gb Green
PSU: PC CORSAIR GAMING SERIES GS800 80plus
I've to install Windows 8 and then upgrade to windows 8.1. I've seen there are different drivers in the support site for my mobo for Win 8 and for Win 8.1. My questions are:
1. After installing Window 8 do I have to install all the windows 8 driver ? Is there an optimal sequence for that ?
2. After updating to Win 8.1 do I have to install all the Win 8.1 drivers ? Is there an optimal sequence for that ?
3. do I have to install the drivers before windows completed its updates ?
3. do you suggest using driver updater software ?
4. I'm not an expert guy in formatting and installing and I'm very scared by BSOD risks (such as Watchdog violation and others) so any advice is welcome and appreciated very much.

Thanks in advance
