Some are just like that, the bend is fine, the pcb is designed to have some flex. You can get metal backplates which do help with stiffness and cooling.

Short of jamming something in there to prop it up, nothing! It won't really get damaged, a lot of heavy cards will bend slightly, it's why you sometimes see a backplate on big graphics cards.

Alternatively, you could get a case that allows you to mount the motherboard horizontally, such as the model I use: the Cooler Master HAF XB EVO.

or keep your case tilted sideways. only the dvd would need to have the brackets to keep discs while loading.
