External GPU for office laptop

[Jaeger_Meister_]

Hello, i have an office laptop with an i5 6200u, 4gb of ddr3l ram, a 240gb ssd and HD520 Graphics

Obviously, this laptop doesn't perform very well in modern titles, I want to change that.

My plan is to buy 4gbs of ram to make it 8gb, as i have to sodimm slots. 25€

A mini pci-e to pci-e x16 adapter, i don't have one set in sight, so i'll gladly accept suggestions

Due to the extreme value in the used market, im buying an r9 290 for 130€

to power the gpu ill buy a standard itx psu, which will set me back 30-40€

ill have the gpu hooked up to an external monitor.

So here is where i need help, is this going to work at all?

Thanks to whoever is reading this
