I just want to upgrade my laptop with laptop graphic card external but I don't know which graphic card support with my cpu.

I honestly do not think you can get an external graphics card adapter for that laptop. The technology isn't commonly supported except for a couple of alienware laptops.

Your CPU have low clock speed, and probably wont be able to take full advantage of the graphic card potential (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2184283/gpu-3210.html ; http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2199892/asus-270-bottleneck-intel-core-3210-ghz.html );

Your CPU seems to have similar performance to a i3 3210, but about less 11% of single core performance (http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i3-3210+%40+3.20GHz&id=1865 ; http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-3230M+%40+2.60GHz&id=1849 )

Maybe R7 265 and GTX 750ti would not be bottlenecked.

do you have the system that allows you to use external graphic card or are you going to buy one? in this case, how much it will cost you?
