E-GPU... Any tips/comments? (And where to buy adapter)

Go to solution Solved by OSBK,

for me, i followed this guy and everything went just fine

you can find the "pe4h" in amazon like i did :P  http://www.amazon.com/Bplus-PE4H-EC2C-Express-Add--connector/dp/B00O1R6GWE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1447934363&sr=8-1&keywords=pe4h

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have prepared a list of things I am going to get for my E-GPU setup. That is:

GTX 750ti

Laptop Express 34 to 16 x PCI-E Adapter + Cables ETC

Corsair VS 350w PSU (might change) - NOTE THIS IS ONLY RUNNING 1 GPU AND THAT IS IT. SO POWER DELIVERY WILL BE OKAY ON THE SHITTY CORSAIR VS SERIES PSU!

 

Also, where do I buy the adapter (from a reputable online shop). EG: Where have people bought theirs from?

 

This is what I am looking for really:

NOTE: I am using ExpressCard. Not mPCI-E.

Also forgot, Laptop is Dell Latitude E6410. And the CPU is i5 520M (I will probably overclock this if the dedicated GPU (in the Laptop) is not making heat). If you are interested in other stuff I will probably get 8GB of RAM and an SSD.

 

EDIT: 

I understand there will be slight bottlenecks (probably ExpressCard to PCI-E 16x). But it will be worth 15 FPS drop to have an alright GPU). 

Also, this will just be general gaming, not Arma 3 or anything. (CS:GO, DOTA 2 etc etc).

CPU: i5 4670k @ 3.4GHz + Corsair H100i      GPU: Gigabyte GTX 680 SOC (+215 Core|+162 Mem)     SSD: Kingston V300 240GB (OS)      Headset: Logitech G930 

Case: Cosair Vengance C70 (white)                RAM: 16GB TeamGroup Elite Black DDR3 1600MHz       HDD: 1TB WD Blue                              Mouse: Logitech G602

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium                       PSUXFX Core Edition 750w                                                Motherboard: MSI Z97-G45               Keyboard: Logitech G510

That is a very good point. However, I would have my E-GPU at a different house yet I still have portability of the laptop.
