Yes you could load the OS onto one BUT USB is much slower than SATA(what internal HDD uses) and most external hard drives run slower speeds than a internal hard drive. Also external drives use up your cpu and memory which slows down the computer even more.

Bottom line is I would wait for your HDD's to arrive

You won't want to trust me. Loading Windows from a USB is really slow and the start up operations take ages. So I'd just wait for your HDD to arrive as you'll only get annoyed. Also, loading Windows onto the USB in the first place can be tricky, unless you know what you're doing.
