I think that if you want to use Tor and be "sure" that you are somewhat
protected, you should begin by doing a little research on what Tor is and how
it works.
These videos might help you:

After you watch those, you will conclude that Tor is the safest way to do you
everyday browsing, but you should stick to the Tor Browser Bundle and even so
not mess too much with the configurations, because "anonimity loves company".
So you want to look like everyone else, and not like someone sticking out in
the crowd.
You don't really need to have Tor being used for updates anyway, for example,
and the same goes for using Bank accounts and Facebook (unless you are on the
run and don't want to get caught, lol, that case Tor will hide your physical
location).
Anyway, watch those I mentioned, and you will be able to work it all out by
yourself.
