Minimum Hardware to test assembled bundle?

[Mel_P]

Hello,
In putting together improved PCs for myself / grandson I have now assembled a "bundle" but no spare bits to test it!

I have:
ASUS A68HM-PLUS motherboard (M-ATX form factor)
AMD A6 6400K Black APU Processor OR AMD Athlon X4FM2+ AD860K
2x8GB DDR3 memory PC3-12800 1600MHz
NVIDIA GEFORCE GT1030 Fanless GPU

Looking at these - they would make a reasonable "home-office" PC ???

I have assembled this into a bundle (with the A6 6400K CPU). The parts worked when I disassembled them but I haven't tested it as of now - and I have no other parts now (no PSU / Case / OS).

What is the minimum hardware I need to test the "bundle"? I can use keyboard / mouse / monitor from another PC but I don't want to start disassembling working PCs! (just in case)

Can I do it with just a power supply? How would I start the PC without a case / start up button?

Thanks, Mel

Thanks - I hope it will boot into the BIOS without a HDD/SSD.

Now to obtain a power supply .........

Thanks. Should have a push button switch in my electronic goodies box - perhaps with my raspberry Pi bits.

That should be enough to let me know it will form the basis of a useable PC (perhaps not a good gaming machine though!!!). That's all I want. So I can put it in a box if needed - grandchildren may want a PC for school work if schools are closed much longer - Mel
