1070 is very good card at this moment. Power efficient, very good resale value (sweet spot for 1440p or entry level 4k gaming), about 28MH/s for eth.
About the warranty in EU, yes they have it, but in case of any problem you ll probably have to send cards directly to shop where you bought them. Consider EVGA cards due to fact, that they allow to send cards directly to manufacturer without middle mans.

Stick with 1200W power supply, preferably Corsair/EVGA (good price/performance ratio). It isnt a good idea to run at almost maximum load PSU especially for 24/7 operation.

1060 6gb is more ,,future proof" and also have much more resale value due to much better performance in recent PC games.

It depends what you want to mine? If Zcash then you should consider buying 1050ti - very low power draw and decent hashrate (about 180h/s).

With stock Ryzen 1600 (2400mhz ddr4) I get about 340h/s. On DwarfPool minimal payout is 0.1XMR which is kinda high IHMO, so Monero is not so profitable at this very moment

Your laptop will have a tough time while mining, it ll probably run hot and loud (because blower style cooler). Next thing that you MUST consider is if something broke in you laptop it ll be hard (imposible) to rapair due to fact that most of the laptop components are soldered.
But again knowledge is priceless, so just out of pure curiosity you can start mining, but be sure that you've got an eye on laptop's temps (use HWinfo or other monitoring software).
BTC wont be profitable, I would sugest you try Zcash (GPU) + Monero (CPU)

Hello guys.
I'm new here, but I'm reading this forum from couple weeks. Because of this forum I started my own journey into Crypto Currencies world.
I bought used (but it still got 1,5y warranty) R9 380 Strix 2gb couple weeks ago and i started mining (couple hours a day and a few nights). I treat this mainly as a hobby, mining only Zcash (cards produce about 180 sols/s at stock clocks) and in the meantime learn about awesomeness of cryptos in general. I used MSI Afterburner as a hardware monitor and i settled a little more aggressive fan curve. Reading was fine, car under full load (mining or gaming in general) run at 65C at 40% fan speed. But I was curious what could be power draw. So i downloaded GPU-Z which didnt show anything different than MSI) and HWinfo. I was totally shocked when I saw 87C on Vram sensor. I immediately turn down miner, speed up fans and started thinking what should I do.
Vram is idling at 72C, during light task (ie watching movie). Is this could be a failure in sensor (vrams in theory should produce low heat)? My case is Phanteks Enthoo Pro, so airflow souldnt be a problem, PSU is Corsair RM650x.
Can you guys help me out? I dont think that mining/gaming on this card is safe in general (and I dont want to run fans at full speed all the time).
