Hi, Thanks for your replies! I would typically agree with you, but the fact is I am not that picky, I've managed to go through half of battlefront 4 with the iris card on my macbook, it just got to a point were I quit eventually. I would not mind lowering the resolution a bit if it wasn't fluid enough with the 960 (honestly 40fps is probably more than enough for me), I just wouldn't want to do that on every game. I wouldn't also mind lowering a few settings. So for now this would seem a good setup, if not for anything else, for me not to make a great investment that may not work out for some reason. Any suggestions on the store front? I saw some (format.de and mag.de) which either appear not to chip to the UK or are for business only, so I guess my best deal would be with scan.co.uk?

Hello, I've been considering some options to be able to decently play games, and came up with 2 possibilities: either a ps4 (obviously out of scope to this forum) or an external gpu for my mac. I'm in the UK, so my budget would be around 350£ (price of a ps4). The macbook I have is a 15" retina, 2013 (TB2), iris-only (8Gb ram). This post seems to be quite similar to what I'm looking for: http://forum.techinferno.com/implementation-guides/9007-2014-15-macbook-pro-iris-gtx960%4016gbps-tb2-akitio-thunder2-win8-1-%5Bmorv%5D.html I want to play recent FPS games (lets say far cry 4 for instance) decently at 1080p (GTA V as well). I would like to know more about some things first though: - Is the following buy list appropriate and does it represent all the needed parts (excluding a case)? Akitio PCI Express Card Thunderbolt 2 External Expansion Enclosure - AK-T2PC-TIA-AKTU - Scan.co.uk Corsair CX430M 80+ 430 Watt Semi Modular Refurb ATX Power Supply - Scan.co.uk MSI GTX 960 Twin Frozr V 2GB NVIDIA Maxwell PCI Express Graphics Card - GTX960-GAMING2G - Scan.co.uk Powered PCI-E 16X to 16X Adapter Riser Extension Cable Molex Power Connector | eBay (any feedback from these sellers or other suggestions for the UK would also be appreciated!) - Would I be able to use the HDMI output instead of the DVI (probably to hook up to a TV)? - Would going back to the integrated iris card be as easy as a power cycle without the external card connected? Thanks for your help, this is my first post in this forum so if it is on the wrong place please let me know!
