External Graphics card over Thunderbolt Suggestions

Hi All,
I hope you guys can help me. I have a late 2014 Mac mini and am pretty satisfied with it except for the graphics card (but that I won't get an gaming machine was known before, so no hard feelings).
I now read somewhere that its possible to use a external GPU over Thunderbold with around 65-85% of its Desktop Performance.
I found out that there are several cases to support the card raging for around 200-1000$. 1000$ seems a little bit over the top.
Do you guys have any experience with an external GPU or do you have any recommendations?

I thought there will be a bigger market for this. Do you know anything else practical?
