    Guys, guys.. listen.

    1. Get a CUBE2 (3 PCIe slots, plenty of power)
    2. Get a GPU and a PCIe SSD
    3. Install OS + games + functioning drivers on the SSD.
    4. Plug to any Thunderbolt equipped computer and PROFIT!

    For guys with PC the external OS does not make much sense but for all the MacBooks out there it would be nice.
    Sorry for the useless post, I just wanted to share my dream build.

    Having two pcie devices connected limits the performance of the GPU I believe. But I hope this could be a possibility one day.
