I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013) with Thunderbolt 2 (1.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB RAM)
I'm planning on the following:
AKiTiO Thunder2 PCIe Box
EVGA GTX 960 2GB GDDR5
Corsair 550w PSU
Pci Express 16x To 16x Powered Pci-e Riser Cable Adapter Extension
2m Original Apple Thunderbolt Cable
I understand that EVGA branded cards won't require fiddling with the order in which you start things up, and I understand you need a riser to power the 960.
What do you guys think? Sound like a decent plan for gaming in bootcamp? Should this be as easy to set up as it sounds? (ie. attach everything together, plug it in, boot into windows, install drivers and done..?)
Also if anyone knows if the 960 fits inside a Thunder2 chassis would be grateful to know!
Note: Not planning on using the GPU under OS X at all, nor external monitors.

Thanks for the tip guys!
I can't believe I didn't realise I only had TB1... Will that significantly bottleneck me?
I'm probably going to go with a 960 or 970 just because I will upgrading to a Skylake MacBook of some description when they release.
