You should have integrated graphics to go off of for now.

Yeah, i5 has integrated graphics. You can plug it into your motherboard.

As long as your monitor can connect to the motherboard for display then it would be fine to build/use. As far as the drivers I would only get the newest Intel HD drivers for your CPU until you GPU arrives.

Then once your card comes in then connect your monitor to the GPU and download the newest drivers from the manufacturers website (AMD or Nvidia).

As stated, I5 has built in GPU, albeit not as good as the one you are waiting on. It will do the job to get everything else configured though.

You might need to go into the BIOS just before installing your discreet GPU to tell the Motherboard to default to the PCIe buss for GPU usage too, as sometimes the PC doesn't think about the new GPU and will try to use the iGPU instead... but that would even be a potential issue (and easily fixed if so) even if you had the GFX card installed before you ever first powered up your build.
