I want to get the RTX 3060 ti gaming graphics card but I will need to remove my middle front fan to fit this in the case. The other option would be to get the RTX 2060 which isn't as good but will fit in my case much better as it only has the 2 fans. What do you think is best? My case allows up to 3 front facing fans so the middle one would go. Would this cause the machine to overheat?

I plan to get the Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler for my Ryzen 3950x so the top front panel fan should blow cool air directly to the cooler. With the GPU fans pointing down, I'm hoping the bottom fan will provide enough airflow to reach the GPU
 
Could you not just get a 2 fan 3060 ti? There's a few to pick from - palit, msi and gigabyte off the top of my head. 2060 is overpriced I feel, especially now.
