I know there are things like XAMPP thats portable, but it does not use latest version of the software, can I build my own?

I prefer portable stuff as they don't require installs, won't be affected if I format my Windows

XAMPP already is portable if you run it from the root of a drive (that is, X:\ and not X:\Path\) and you don't run the setup script.

There are alternatives but none of them can hold a candle to XAMPP.

There are a few guides that you can find on Google that show how to update the versions of software that they have

Eg: http://thephpcode.blogspot.com/2008/06/upgrading-mysql-with-xampp-installed.html
