hello 

i have a Lenovo g580 with a intel core i5-3210M

​i am looking to build a gaming pc either bu removing the cpu from the laptop and putting it in another motherboard (it that is possible ) or in the best of world running it with a ogpu via the mini pcie when the wifi adapter was previously connected 

​this is not my daily driver ( i have a 13 inch retina macbook ) so portability is not an issue and i do not wish to spend to much money 

​what gpu would you recommend for it not to bottleneck the cpu or the pcie slot 

i will be hooking it up to a 1080 p tv and i am looking to play GTA V assasins creed syndicate etc...

No none of what you said is possible. 80% of the time the CPU is soldered to the laptop, you'd be better off starting off new.
