    Question about graphics card


    So ive just bought all my pc parts but the graphics card wont be delivered for another 3 weeks and i have all the other parts now.
    Can i build and turn the pc on just start to downloading games, files etc to get it ready so when the graphics card arrives i can just install it and start gaming straight away.
    Or, will turning the pc on without a gpu damage it somehow or cause the cpu to partition/get strained by having to handle graphics too?
    This is my first ever pc build so I apologise if my question sounds ignorant or dumb.
    Relevant Parts list: Cpu: ryzen 5 2600 Gpu: geforce 1660 OC aorus Motherboard: gigabyte b450m ds3h Ram: 2x 8gb corsair vengance 3200mhz.

    Unfortunately, the 2600 doesn't have a built-in GPU (graphics) so you need to wait till your dedicated GPU arrives. Just connecting the monitor and tuning the computer on will mean you have no video.
