Hi. I have dell vostro 3750. I know it's old and etc. But maybe there is a way how to add stronger gpu. Cpu i5-2430m, what gpu fits best with that? Or better don't invent bike, and make a new starter pc build even with pentium or i3?

There isn't really a product that works with laptops to give them an external GPU yet at a reasonable price. The only thing that comes to mind is the Razer Core (www.razerzone.com/store/razer-core) but it is $500 just for the unit itself. You then still have to buy a GPU to put in it! And on top of all of that it isn't even fully supported except on their specific laptops.

As far as building a new computer, I always recommend taking a look at Logical Increments (http://www.logicalincrements.com/) to get a parts list for your budget so that not any single component you pick out is bottle necked by any other. I think building a computer would be better if you are looking to go into gaming since your price per frame in game is going to be far lower this way.

Good luck!
