Asus G750 External GPU Project... Thunderbolt?

Anyone know if its possible? Has anyone done this?

 

I have seen those external enclosures for GPUs but I haven't seen one hooked up to a G750 before only MacBook Pros... The other obvious problems are the fact that despite Thunderbolt 1 being fast (I think Asus G750 has Thunderbolt 1) anyways its 10GB per second I think but even so it's not as fast as PCIe 3.0 I also heard its fine to run most cards on PCIe 2.0 so how would I go about doing this... Its not that I really really need it because a 860m is "OK" for most situations but for the futureproofness of being able to essentially upgrade my GPU.... Anyways. Help? Anyone?

 

P.S...I'm thinking an EVGA 970 or something along those lines for the card
