I have a MSI X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI motherboard and I wanted to upgrade my 3070 to a 4070ti. I put my parts in pc part picker with the new GPU and it didn't show any compatibility issues. The new GPU came today so I tried to install it and it doesn't seem to click into the PCIE slot and I don't wanna force it. Does anyone know if pc part picker was lying to me or am I just an idiot and I need to be rough (ish) with it?

Is the PCI-E connector on the new card the same size as the original card? If so, it might take some force (not hulk like).
 
Thanks guys. I've done it. Turns out I'm an idiot 😂. I only lined up two of the 'feet' at the front of the GPU and the case so obviously it won't fit. I appreciate your help and advice though 👍
