Upgrading hardware - best approach?

So my current machine is:

i5 3570k
16GB RAM
Gigabyte... Z77-UD3H? I think - it's been a while.
GTX 970

I'm upgrading the first three to:

i7 9700k
32 GB RAM
Gigabyte Aurorus Pro

There are obviously going to be some changes required to the config. The question is, could I simply create a bootable USB stick and switch out all the necessaries from there, or would I be better off going from scratch, formatting it all?

I have Windows dual-booted on another SSD so there's that to consider too I guess.

Any thoughts?
