Hey guys... so earlier this year in summer time I got a new motherboard and pc so had to rejig it.. anyway when I had put my new motherboard in and I was putting in my graphics card I noticed that when my graphics card (gtx 480) was in its slot it wouldn't align with the case so I couldn't screw the metal plate on to the back to make it more secure so I ended up just let the motherboards slot hold it up and its worked fine so far for all these months. Though I think the problem is that my pc case that I got a few years ago that I got with my graphics card is warped (haf 932) should I try and get a new case asap so my graphics card doesn't end up snapping the slot bit? I've just became more worried all of a sudden. I'm thinking of getting a haf x sometime in the future but i'll get it sooner rather than later if you think I'm at risk of damaging anything.

Well it's safer to keep your graphics card supported by the case etc. So if it's hanging then you should get a new case.
