What processor is recommended to pair with an E-Gpu?

Hello everyone, I just discovered E-Gpus recently and it seemed to be the solution to my problem, indeed last year I bought a laptop and sometimes I think it was maybe impulsive. Anyway it is supposed to be for school, it's an Asus Vivobook S14 5406sa with an Intel Core Ultra 5 226V, 16GB of DdR5 and an Intel Arc Graphics 8gb of Vram (i think it's an iGPU i'm not sure tho).

I also want to add that I switched to Linux Recently I'm on Ubuntu because Microslop was using my Ram to train AI.

And so my there are my questions : is my processor powerful enough to tank mainly crossplay games (I REALLY wanna play with my brother on Ps5) like Helldiver or Raft or Escape the Backrooms or Sea of thieves? 1080p 60fps would be the minimum I accept taking into account the investment.

Also could it run Minecraft with shaders and mods? (my dream since I discovered shaders through YouTube),

And finally do you think it's worth it to buy an E Gpu? Would it really greatly improve my performances?

Finally if I do buy an EGPu I was thinking about a 9060xt 16gb VRAM because it would be the first step of maybe later if I have money, a desktop gaming pc.

Thanks for the responses and love you all
