i just mounted my very first pc and everything works great, overlocked it and i am pretty happy about it, but the graphics card looks a bit tilted from where is attached not too much , but a little bit. is the graphics card fine to leave it like that for too long?

idk it looks not healthy

Modern graphics cards are so bulky that they do regularly sag a bit. It’s important to actually screw the card into the expansion slot on the case, because that adds a bit of support.

Some cases will let you mount your GPU vertically with the help of a riser cable. This distributes the pressure a lot more nicely. Not all cases support a vertical GPU configuration though.
