That sucks man. I'm going to warn you the performance per dollar is absolutely horrible on a laptop. You will not get your moneys worth.

I've had friends who have bought them only to sell them a year later and lose money because they realized it wasn't what they wanted.

Be absolute sure this is what you want and you don't have another option.

It's just my setup right now that doesn't let me have a desktop at the moment.

How long any graphics card will stay relevant depends on context, like the resolution, desired framerates and detail levels, game engine requirements, the CPU in the laptop, etc.

Looking at how old a GTX770 is, seeing it continue to handle the vast majority of games played today pretty well, and knowing the rate at which GPU development is slowing, you can kinda extrapolate how long your GTX1070 will remain relevant. That is, unless magically AMD steps up their game and blows the market away.
