what would i need for a graphics enclosure

[explodinx]

so I want to purchase a laptop. for college but when I get home play some games. only problem is, I don't want to spend $5000 on a laptop. if I was to purchase a laptop and a mini itx case (for the enclosure) what parts would I need exactly for the enclosure to run properly on my laptop?
I will most likely be putting a 1080 in it if that somehow is helpful

You don't need to spend $5000 on a laptop to get good gaming speeds.

$2-3,000 should be plenty http/

If you really want something you can add an external video card to, look at the Razer and Alienware systems that can work with their external video card enclosures.
