So I found another way how to use an eGPU or Desktop GPU on a laptop that doesn't have MSATA port.I stumble upon a PCI E Riser 16x to 1x to USB 3.0( http://www.lelong.com.my/pci-e-16x-to-1x-adapter-usb-3-0-cable-extender-riser-bitcoin-taktau44-K1687535-2007-01-Sale-I.htm ) .Is it gonna work like normal or something else?eGPU=R7 260X,Extra PSU 420w Gigabyte.
HELP PLEASE! eGPU setup problem.

still not going to work.
there is a msata to molex cable that powers the pci-x 16 slot, then there is a usb cable that connects the pci-x 16 slot card to the pci-x 1 card. The pci-x1 card has to be plugged into the motherboard somewhere, and correct me if im wrong but laptop boards don't come standard with pci-x1 slots.
you will also need a stand alone PSU to power the GPU unless you get a low end card that doesn't need a power cable.
