i accidentally tried to boot my computer with my monitor hooked up to my motherboard hdmi port, but i forgot that my cpu (R5 2600x) does not have integrated graphics, and im wondering if this has damaged my cpu or any part of my computer. i am a first time builder and would appreciate the help.

P.S. the reason i was trying to boot without a graphics card is that mine has not arrived yet and i was getting antsy and wanted to test all my components
 
Solution
No, there should be no problems. That port wouldn't even be enabled without an APU in the socket. The system would simply fail to boot until a GPU is installed.
