need urgent help with proper driver finding and installation

Question

Hello,

I have a XPS15 (502X) laptop from dell. I have some issues regarding performance and graphical taste. I want to make a clean install with the latest drivers from dell. However I cant start to do that because there are many drivers on the support web page that I am not sure which drivers I need. What I only see is confusing text like this for instance "DELL,SRV,SW,APPL,RFB,ROW,KM713,CHNY,1.0.1.20111011,A02-00". I want to download my drivers from dell-ftp web site http://ftp.dell.com/Browse_For_Drivers/Laptops/XPS/XPS%2015%20%20(L502X)/ because normal support page is not clear at all. Could someone tell me which ones I need to download and install after installing win7 or teach me a way to figure out my own. If neccessary I can provide my service tag.

thanks for comments and advices
