Nitro AN515-51. i7-7700hq, gtx1050, 16GB memory.
I know it's soldered, but is there enough room to remove it using an iron? I have not seen the underside of the motherboard, so I don't really know how it is. I also don't know if soldered components are always removable. 
But assuming I can stick a soldering iron in there without killing anything else, would it work if I put a 1060 or 1070 in its place? I mean, would the thing fit and would the system be able to efficiently run it?

    not really,  you would most likley run into power issues as the supporting cirutiry would be differnt. A M2 to PCI adapter would be safer, but they dont work most of the time !
