External GPU for my somewhat powerful non-gaming laptop?

[Ali Abouheif]

Ok so I've asked you guys about my laptop gaming capabilities and found out that its GPU isn't meant for gaming, so I've thought about getting an external GPU for it and running games on my Samsung 4th generation 32" TV, can you suggest an external GPU compatible with my laptop and please any comments or other suggestions/workarounds if this is not the best solution.

Here are my laptop's specs:

Budget: preferably cheapest one that can run newest games on high to ultra, such as (Battlefield hardline or BF4, COD: Advanced warfare, Far Cry 4, Grand Theft Auto V, etc...)

Thank you again in advance and sorry for the long post...

Yeah you're best bet if you want to play games on your TV with better graphics than whats on your current laptop and for cheap is... a PS4

Otherwise it is possible to buy Thunderbolt 2 External GPU chassis but they are anywhere from $500-900 and that doesn't include the GPU itself.

and then throw in something like the GTX 970 which is around $350-400 and you're looking at spending $1300 to put desktop graphics on your laptop.

Or just get a PS4 or even a new desktop to that TV.
