So I'm new to building PC, and my RAM hasn't arrived so I can't boot it yet, I don't have any audio device, and I want to know if I should hear the beep even without an audio device? I know I sound like an idiot, please help me!

Hi

most motherboards have connector for small speaker or similar
(piezoelectric speaker) or sometimes they have one on the motherboard.

Without this you can not get any beeps at startup

you can buy a kit of piezoelectric speaker + leds + switches for testing new PC builds (example from Maplin UK)
