Upgrading G5 5000
Hello, I am looking to upgrade my G5 5000 and was wondering if the computer can fit the things I am looking to upgrade to, and what I would need to upgrade to these things.
I plan on upgrading my graphics card to the RX 6700 XT

I also plan on getting a 1TB SSD
What I want is the freedom to play any game on pretty much any graphics with great loading speeds and fps.
I really hope someone can help. I don't know what I'm doing and need support.
My budget is no more than $500

The 1TB SSD upgrade plan can be done easily and there will be no problem.
The graphic card upgrade plan will require checking of chassis fitments and power requirements. The Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT is a 230w card and requires at least 550w power supply with 1x6-pin + 1x8-pin graphics power connectors.
If you already have a 500w PSU in your system, you might get by with the upgrade. Review this YT video to get familiarize with working inside your system. Refer to the service manual and taking proper precaution.

The RX 6700XT should be fine with the 500 watt variant as the mother board is capped and wont pull as much power as you think. I've got a EVGA 3070 3 fan and its running well. The RX 6700XT was the other card that I highly conceded putting in.
