So last week I ordered parts for my first gaming PC and they arrived on Monday. I have everything ordered except the motherboard. My problem is that I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the motherboard as of this month.

I bought parts that were very reputable, but I'm scared that they might be DOA and I may not have time to test the pieces before the 30 RMA from Newegg.

I know I should've bought all this pieces at once, but at the time the deals for the parts I wanted and needed were a must and I didn't think I'd be able to get them at the same price again.

I have no way to test out the parts, because I don't think my old HP desktop will be compatible with the new parts.

What do I do right now? I'm feel so helpless and lost. Do I refund everything or do I just throw a hail marry and let whatever happens happen.

These are the components I have at the moment.

CPU - AMD FX 6300

PSU - Corsair CX 500w Modular 80 Bronze plus

Memory - G Skills Ripjaws X Series 2x4 SDRAM 1600, Cas 8

HDD - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB

Optical Drive - I don't remember the name but it's just a 17$ 5 star rating drive.

GPU - Gigabyte GTX 660 OC

I'm scared because I feel like I'm not doing things right and I just want to have something that's successful for my first ever PC build.

I know I don't have a case at the moment, but I'm more conscious of the parts working, then the visuals.
 
Solution
In 15 years of buying parts online I have only ones got a DOA arrival part. That is maintaining 4-5 PC's. Manufacturers RMA takes over from retailers after 30days so it is not like you do not have warranty.
