[SOLVED] Proper Parts

[Jellin]

So I have the graphics card, CPU cooler, case, power supply, and my motherboard and RAM are arriving in about a week. I’m wondering if I should build the pc without the CPU and storage to see if my computer will turn on to make sure all my components are working properly, I’m not sure if this will work. Any thoughts or suggestions?

wait for the CPU.
Power On Self Test or POST will not complete without the CPU and any boot that does not POST tells you nothing at all.
wait for the CPU, then the POST can complete and you can ascertain something.

Ok, but will the RGB lights on the case turn on, and if they do does that indicate all components are working properly?

 

[R_1]

only that the RGB is working.
if fans spin the fans work as to the rest of the components you can only really tell after the system POSTs

Alright, thank you for helping Herald I’m probably going to turn it on to see if the motherboard is working properly since it’s directly connected to it.
