    I have a 2015 Dell XPS 13, with 8Gb of RAM and a new i5-6200U quad-core CPU, the new model has a thunderbolt 3 supported USB-C port. I have done the research on what I need for 1080p gaming and I chose a GTX 960 and a SeaSonic S12II 430B 430W PSU.

    What PCIe adapter do I need to get all this working in a Thunderbolt 3 port and is the Dell XPS 13 9350 even compatible?

    edit: Am I missing any products to get this working?

    Note on the side: the 6200U is not a quad-core. It's a dual core with hyper threading (so two physical cores plus two "virtual").
    I'm not sure if there is any adapter which lets u use the thunderbolt port for a direct PCIe connection. The external docking stations for an eGPU via thunderbolt 3 are not on the market yet (e.g. Razer Core).
