As the title says i'm looking to add a eGPU to my Dell XPS 13 2015 (model number 9343-2727SLV), Specs at the bottom. I need some help to review everything i'm purchasing before I go through with it to make sure everything is compatible and i'm buying the right parts.
Am I missing anything? Are these all the parts required to complete a eGPU setup. Thanks for any help. I'll keep everyone updated on my progress as I go through everything. Also If anyone has any advice as to going through the process it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
As the title says i'm looking to add a eGPU to my Dell XPS 13 2015 (model number 9343-2727SLV), Specs at the bottom. I need some help to review everything i'm purchasing before I go through with it to make sure everything is compatible and i'm buying the right parts.
