Hello i am looking on bying an external gpu for my laptop is this possible also ill be doing it the cheap way

And the cheap way is how? No your laptop does not have a Thunderbolt port, which makes eGPU a fairly easy and worthwhile thing. The only way to hook up an eGPU for you would be to remove the botttom cover and get the kind of eGPU that plugs into the wireless card slot. Not something I would recommend but I have seen it work better than I suspected. You need an eGPU dock, a desktop power supply, a video card and an external monitor and the eGPU displays on the external monitor not the laptop screen. Hard to see how you get all that cheap but I would love to be informed.

You have not done this yet right?

Read the fine print:

Question 4: Could it work with its own monitor?

Answer:  If you use the AMD series card, it must to connect with the external monitor to use.
If you use N series card which over GTS450, and  your laptop own Intel Core graphics ,and use the EGPU software to set, then it can use the laptop internal monitor, otherwise, it need to connect with the external monitor.

The video shows a very special case where the laptop screen can be used. I would like to see a video of this working with your laptop. I never said you need Thunderbolt and this device connects to the wireless port just as I said. Good luck.
