In its current state, your Z51-70 is maxed-out on the specs. Most eGPUs connect via the USB Type-C port, which is not available in your Lenovo. There is an alternative from banggood (the EXP) but they only cover a limited number of (older) laptop models and GPUs. My best advice is to read this article from 2015:

The EXP alternative can be studied on this page:

I very much doubt that your Z51-70 can be modified to the point of supporting any kind of eGPU.
