SO, I've all but completed my new rig! except of course I do not yet have a graphics card. I plan on purchasing a Geforce Gtx 1080 however, seeing as they are close to $700 I have yet to pull the trigger. Here are my specs so far..

Msi Gaming Pro Carbon x99a
Intel core i7 6850k
NZXT Kracken x52;)
32 gb of Cosair Dominator Platinum DDR4 3000
EVGA Supernova 850w T2
Samsung 950 Pro m.2 ssd 256gb
Samsung 850 pro 2.5 inch ssd 256 gb
WD 1 TB Blue hdd
Fractal Design R5

Perhaps there is nothing I can do to test my components without a gpu. However, until I save the required money to purchase it ill be stuck here looking at my all but completed build. Also, please give me any advice you might have.. My rma periods are running out:0

Not true actually. Yes you can test it to see if it turns on but unless you have load resistors, you cannot test the power supply to make sure its within tolerance
