Yesterday i got my Galax Hall of Fame 1080 and it is so big that it nearly fits in my NZXT H440. I needed to built out one of the storage trays so that it can fit. My question is now: Also delivered was an supportstick for the gpu to prevent sagging but the only ways to get use of it is to build the mount on the front (where it looks extremly ugly) or on the side where i need to get rid of all the storage trays. I have 2 SSDs which i can put on the bottom on the case but i also have a HDD which I needed to get rid off when i want to put the supportstick on the side. I have the fear because of the weight that the gpu will damage my motherboard. So do i need the support stick, any other mount solutions or other things that could help me?

You don't need the stick.  GPU's have been around for ages that are much larger than the 1080 HOF and have been fine without goofy sticks.
