Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, and to this whole concept of building computer parts. I am interested in building an external gpu for my early 2013 rmbp / 8gb ram / 2.4 quad-core i7 / Thunderbolt 1 / 650m. Can someone explain me the easiest/cheapest/best way to build an egpu for my laptops? What exacts steps do I need to follow? What are all the hardware that I need to buy, or the softwares that I need to install? I did some research on the subject, but there are many terms I do not understand, which makes the process look very complex, and I dont understand it. If I would like to get the same performance of a gtx970 on a real desktop, what kind of gpu should I get? I am very new to these kind of things, so it would also be very appreciated if someone would explain the difficult jargon, like "molex", "jumper", "UEFI" Thank you very much for your help, it is very, very appreciated
