eGPU setup

Hello,

Long time viewer first time caller.  I'm looking to run a RTX 2070 super in a Razer Core X Chroma with my Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model. After doing some reading on passive and active thunderbolt 3 cables I have a question. I plan have my keyboard, mouse, external HDD, and ethernet plugged to the back of the razer core x. Would there be an issue with all that plus 2 24inch 1080p monitors feeding to the laptop via 6 foot thunderbolt 3 active cable? 

 

Thanks

The monitors are plugged to the RTX 2070 that's inside the Razer Core X right ? so it shouldn't be an issue or count towards the bandwidth

However ethernet/HDD etc would compete with the GPU for the 40 Gb/s bandwidth so maybe plugging them to the laptop directly is a better idea.

I'm just using the included cable with the Core X so not super familiar with the active cables - just make sure the bandwidth rated is 40 Gb/s
