Question: is egpu worth it 2019?
Answer: In your situation the eGPU is worth it. You already have a good CPU, enough RAM, and hopefully enough space on the SSD. A top eGPU enclosure costs $300 (Razer Core X), and you can get even better VFM with the RTX 2070 Aorus Box, which is $650. And if you game at higher resolutions, the performance hit is less.
