Dust in cpu socket?

[kaidyshion]

Hi there, i´m building my first pc. Already have the MB, PSU,case and the storage.
I will buy the CPU, GPU and ram the next month
So I wanted to know if there would be any problem if I build the PC already. The MB could get some dust or be damaged in some way? or is it better to wait to have all the components?

If it serves as information, the MB and the case are the following:
-Rog strix b450-f
-Phanteks Eclipse P400S

The motherboard comes with a plastic guard in place over the socket. Just leave that in place until you install the CPU.

The problem that can arise (when buying the components like that) is that by the time you get the rest of the components the return period has expired on the earlier components (without seeing if they work or not).

For example the motherboard could be faulty. But since you waited for the other components, it wasn't checked out until too late to exchange it.

It is better to get the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and power supply all at once. That way you can see if it passes POST. If you don't have a monitor, you can use a TV instead.
