Alright, so, I'm building my own PC right now, and I just put in the graphics card. After that, I noticed that the graphics card is lopsided, like the motherboard's pcie slots are off from where they should be on the case. I'm just afraid that this may not be healthy for the graphics card.

Drooping is normal for custom or heavy cards. You can get a brace for the card to help it up, I personally made something out of wood with my old HD5850. But that sagging could damage the solder joints over time, though its rare.

Here is a picture of what im talking about. Though I have no idea where to buy them from
