Sorry if my question sounds stupid I have no experience building PC's. I hear it is good to first build your your PC outside the case first to check if anything is not working. Now if my motherboard does not support integrated graphics and the PC does not POST, how do i find out which component is failing? Now my situation is very weird, i dont have any sort hardware which can be used in place of my motherboard, CPU, Graphics card or RAM to test if it is working nor do i have any friends who can lend me such hardware. If you did not understand that, for example if my CPU fails i dont have another CPU to use in its place to test if the problem is with the CPU. Is it possible to figure which component is failing without having to use spare hardware in its place?

Appreciate the help.
