Question Can this gpu fit this motherboard

[FluffyButtonsXD]

I have a msi z170a gaming m5 motherboard with a gtx 1060. With a XFX - AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 fit in the pci express lane? The 3.0 x16 or is it 4.0

You should be fine, so long as you have 600W of power from a reliably built PSU powering the entire system.

All 16x pci-e slots and connectors are the same size no matter what version it is.
The 5700XT is PCI-e 3.0.

So even if the motherboard only supports intel would that make a difference? Idk if mine does or not

What CPUs the motherboard supports has zero bearing on what GPUs you can use.
