My PC's CPU from a few years back still more than meets minimum CPU requirements for 2016 PC games, and my RAM normally also meets minimum requirements. So the only thing that drives any desire for a new PC is the GPU. and because of the motherboard on the PC I can't just slap a newer GPU in there. If I could get a plug in GPU I'd be all set for some time to come.

What is problematic about the motherboard? You would still need thunderbolt 3 though and if it's an old computer then you're out of luck i'm afraid. 

I looked into replacing the GPU with one that theoretically is compatible (i.e. no independant power supply) but the connections are incompatible with anything that's reasonably available. It does seem the Thunderbolt thing is a deal-breaker, so a new PC, eventually, is my only recourse.
