Hey guys I wanted to make a portable version of Windows 8.1 and just had a few questions:

 

1) Will it work on a USB 2.0 32GB USB Drive? I have read that it might not work

2) Is there any other OS's that I can use as a clean benchmarking environment that I can make portable? I have read about Ubuntu but I don't know whether it supports most of the windows games/programs and the drivers from Nvidia and AMD.

It will work, and I recommend Windows for benchmarking. Use the guide at: http://www.howtogeek.com/196817/how-to-create-a-windows-to-go-usb-drive-without-the-enterprise-edition/

You can run the Windows-To-Go on a USB flash drive.

But it'll be a huge bottleneck when performing benchmarkings.

I recommend atleast getting a USB 3.0 drives.

They're not that pricey.

Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz - Intel Stock Cooler - Zotac Geforce GT 610 2GB Synergy Edition

Intel DH61WW - Corsair® Value Select 4GBx1 DDR3 1600 MHz - Antec BP-300P PSU

WD Green 1TB - Seagate 2.5" HDD 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 500GB - Antec X1 E.

I'll have a look, I think some are on sale.
