Hi,
I recently bought my parts for my custom-built pc, and the parts have not come yet. However, the GPU I bought came with Watch Dogs for free, and Amazon has sent me the code. If I redeem it now, what will happen? Should I wait until I build it, or redeem it now? Please help me out!

I would wait until you build your new PC, although it doesn't really matter. They send you a steam key for watchdogs, so no matter what PC you are using, if you are logged in on your steam account, you can play watchdogs.

A little note: Your GPU may not be able to run watchdogs at the highest settings (Dependant on resolution and the GPU itself) as Watchdogs is extremely intensive and still badly optimised, so even if watchdogs runs poorly, try some other games before getting upset because your GPU doesn't seem as good as you thought it was

Thanks. I know that Watch Dogs has very high requirements. I have compared my specs, and was surprised to see that my rig was not the best for this game, although it was great for other modern games. It was free, so I thought why not. So, if I redeem it now, I can wait and play it on my pc, which will be ready by next week?

The Watch Dogs code that comes with a new Nvidia card is for UPlay, not Steam, but the same advice applies. Go ahead and redeem it and will forever be available from your Uplay account on any machine you log in with.
