Dude, you're going to copy the files from the usb stick into your pc in about 1-2 minutes.  Most sticks are slower at writing, but they'll be much faster at reading.. so if you get a modern stick you'll write at 10 to 30 MB/s to it, but you'll read at up to 70-100 MB/s from it.
Whatever time you're gonna save by running the game directly, it will be wasted by slower saved game loads or level loads pretty fast. Within a few hours, you've wasted the two minutes or so that would have been needed to copy the files into your computer.
 
Buy a usb stick of some reasonable size, let's say at least 16 GB... a 32 GB or higher stick is more likely to use a better controller inside with faster write speeds.
I'd suggest
 
The exact stick I have but in 16 GB size is 9$ : https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171978&ignorebbr=1
 
Or spend 25$ on an external USB DVD writer and burn a couple of discs at your library

My 32 GB Sandisk Ultra USB 3.0 averages around 15 MB/s write speeds, and around 40 to 70 MB/s read speeds
5GB would be written to the stick in ~ 5000 / 15 = 333 seconds or 6 minutes
 
My stick is old, there's newer ones which can do even better.
 

My bae Chloe is coming back this Thursday 19. (Life is Strange: Before the Storm EP2 releases)
My current dorm in Blackwell has a really shitty internet, around 2-3MBps. 
I can however go to the library and have blazing fast internet here, they have PCs with speed up to 500-600MBps, but their computer is not capable of gaming (Core i7-4790 with iGPU, Life is Strange: Before the Storm requires around GTX 1050 level of GPU).
I can't bring my PC with me to utilize that internet either, since Wi-Fi sucks (gets same or worse speed like my home and even not reliable) and it's a pain in the ass to carry + you would get noticed. 
The game is approximately 5GB in download and what I did in the past with Ep1 was:
Go to the library and download the game Copy it to a USB stick Copy it back to my PC Problem is it takes 15mins one way to get there (so 30mins). The game apparently have no preload option for Steam (except console somehow).
And it also takes 30mins to get the game copied (one way) since it's USB 2.0
 
1. Some PCs are capable of adding an external rack with full 3.5" HDD on it. Though I think you can't read the drives of normal session, just load an OS and boot from those drives. I already have HDD so not a problem much.
2. I can get a USB 3.0 to increase transfer speed? Someone do a math for me please?
3. Screw it and wait for eternity? (in perfect scenario where it reaches that mysterious 3 Mbps it would take around 4 hours)

Life is Strange is on sale for $5 on Steam, GOG and Humble Bundle often, so don't worry about it too much. 

sleep mode is ALWAYS bad. that shit never worked reliable ever since invented in the 90's. it can corrupt your windows installation. i have seen it happen many times. 
 
do a full shutdown or use hibernate instead. waking a computer from hibernate is a matter of seconds when you have SSD

BF2 doesn't support SLI so it performs like a single 760.

If you use typical settings you would use for like, youtube, it shouldn't be that bad if you've got enough CPU power to begin with. This guide is more of a "budget" recording type of thing.
