MacBook Pro external graphics help

[PoKRTeY]

Hi, this is my first time posting here so go easy on me. 

 

I recently got a deal on a cheap early 2011 15-inch Macbook Pro.

 

Specs: 

Intel Core i7-2635QM

8GB DDR3 1333 Mhz

1TB 5400rpm HDD
AMD Radeon HD 6490M 256mb

Intel HD Graphics 3000 512mb

Screen Res: 1440x900

 

So here's the problem. I wanna game on this laptop. Hurrr Durrr... why did you buy a mac if you want to play games hurrr duurrrrr.... 

 

I am a student. Im poor as hell. I just spent the rest of my money upgrading the RAM and HDD

 

I got a mac because my first real PC which i spent a lot of time with was my family's iMac way back in 2009

 

So i kinda got used to Final Cut Pro, Motion, and the basically the OSX interface.

 

I just want to play games during my free time. 

 

The AMD Radeon HD 6490M can barely play any of the games nowadays. (The only graphically intensive game i wanna play is GTA 5)

 

So is there a way to configure an external graphics card? I plan to buy a GTX 660 Jet stream to kinda pair it with the age of my laptop.

No, this graphics card is awful for newer games. And, no, there aren't any external GPU solutions for Macs...

Even through thunderbolt?
