If you do a Google search for "free driver updates" or "free driver scanner" you'll find many companies. Here's just one:

11 Free Driver Updater Tools (Updated May 2017)

Personally, I'd stay away from 3rd party tools. IMO if a driver ain't broke there's no need to update it. But if there is a newer driver available, I prefer visiting the hardware manufacturer's website or using the driver update feature of Windows Update.

Device Installation Settings - Windows 7 Help Forums

Finally, a word of caution. Just because a newer driver is available doesn't mean it will play nice on your custom build. It's strongly suggested you make a system restore point before installing a new driver. Better yet would be a system image.
