Hi @nour_04 

Welcome back.

I am guessing you can't install the case side panel because the graphics card is wider than the case. I don't believe (IMHO) the 3090 Ti is a good choice for your PC.

I don't know how you can solve a graphics card width problem unless you can find a SFF 3090 Ti which will work with the case.

I did an internet search and could not find a vendor offering a SFF 3090 Ti that might work with your PC.

What graphics card width can your case handle, I don't know your PC's case dimensions? I just got a 4070 Super having a width of 5.27 inches, the reference Nvidia 3090 Ti width is 5.5 inches .

The 4070 Super has better performance specs and demands less power compared to a 3090. The 3090 Ti is better than a 4070 Super, but not by much. Check this Site for a comparison.

4070 and 4070 Super cards are available in dual fan configs at about 10 inches in length. But these cards occupy about 2.5 slots.
