Install MSI's "live update" software on your computer while online. Reboot, get online, and start the flash program. It may update all your drivers, depending on which function you select. I've had no problems with it, except it won't let you use an older bios file. If you like your overclock options for your board, I wouldn't flash it. Newer bios files sometimes "gray out" overclocking options and replace them with different options.

do you always have to update your bios or is it sometimes best to leave it be?

There is no need to update bios if everything working correctly. It a potential risk. If you can oc successfully then no need to flash bios. It is always best to leave it be if you experience no problem.
