Hi, i have HP 2570p Laptop, i added to him using adapter a 960 gtx with psu. now my father brought from his work place a pc with i5 2400, which is not bad at all for csgo so i want to put my 960gtx in it and play. my question is it possible to combine the pc with my laptop and use the best out of it...? im using a Dock station for the laptop if it matters...(?)
and if i cant do it so my question is it possible to mix them just so it will be more easy to me to use them instead of change the mouse and keyboard cable every time or something like that?

thanks a lot

If the 960 GTX is a normal PCI Express GPU made for desktop PCs that you are using with your laptop via an external adapter (like Thunderbolt), then yes you could feasibly open the external GPU and remove the 960GTX and plug it into the desktop. If it's a **mobile** 960 then you can't because it's made for laptops and doesn't use the same interface that desktops do.

To avoid moving the cables around you could look into something called a KVM switch (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) which will let you connect two PCs to the KVM and a keyboard, mouse, and monitor and you can then switch which PC the peripherals are connected to.

You can't combined computers together. You can only every move hardware from one to another, but being that your using a laptop; you can take hardware out of it; only like the harddrive or ram, but thats laptop ram that wont work on a desktop.
