Look at your temps. If your temps are good, stop worrying. 

As for how much stress it can take, it'll probably be fine with anything short of the case being dropped ~3ft from the ground. 

Here's an extreme example:

I'm really beginning to question what you're doing near this computer. Are you a serial killer? 

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Follow install instructions. Tighten every screw as much as you can by hand and then loosen them by 1/4 of full turn.
