What parts for eGPU + eSSD + Optimus setup?

I decided to build eGPU for my late 2013 13" MBPr 11,1 but got lost in the details for the planned configuration. I after the following:

  • Nvidia 970 or 980 GPU
  • external SSD drive for Windows 8.1 and the games
  • a case that can fit both GPU and SSD

 

The questions I'm not sure about:

 

  1. Is it possible to install Windows on the external SSD and daisy chain it on the same TB cable as the eGPU?
  2. Can I use the MacBook's LCD with Optimus & Win 8.1 or Win 10?
  3. Which eGPU case and GPU brand would you recommend for the easiest installation? I wouldn't custom build the external case, just buy the one that works.

 

I hope I can get the information I need and I hope it's doable for the average human being. :-)

 

Thank you!
