eGPU for Dell Latitude E5420

[chafekaraditya]

Hey guys I wanted to add an eGPU to my Dell Latitude E5420
Specs:-
i5 2.50ghz
4gb Ram
500gb HDD
Intel HD 3000

I am trying to run ETS2 on it on HD but I am getting 10-15FPS and a lot of crashes from overheating...
Note that I already have a Monitor
And I want a Graphics card a PCI adaptor and PSU..all under $150(₹9000)

Here are some of my doubts:-
1.Do I need a PSU?
Most of the graphics card I researched didn't have a power port to them for external power supply,so can the graphic card pull power from the adaptor which pulls power from the the PCI/usb port?

2.Also my I opened my computer and found the wlan card which I will be needing to removing to connect the adaptor but I found 2 similar empty ports..on one of which it was written "DMC",so can I connect the adaptor there instead of removing the wlan card?the other port didn't have anything written in it...

Please suggest me components from Snapdeal,Flipkart or Amazon India!

Thanks in advance

You would be getting 75 watts of power for your GPU off the PCI, but the adapter will need its own power source .I am not sure about the DMC ports so you could experiment yourself on those.
