You can't boot or do anything. Maybe listen to an audiable error message from your bios, that's about it.

If you already have all parts installed instead of the CPU go ahead and turn it on. You will see what happens yourself. LEDs will light up and fans will start spinning etc.. but nothing else happens.

The only thing you can test by doing this is if you connected the power supply correctly to the motherboard...nothing else.

Seriously, just wait til you have your parts, you mount the CPU, Cooler and RAM all when the Motherboard is on a flat stable surface, like the Motherboard box, not when the Motherboard is already inside the Case.

If you have the Motherboard and Case already, and awaiting other Parts, read the Motherboard manual. You could also configure any stand-offs you may need inside your Case to prep for the Motherboard. Make sure only stand-offs for the actual motherboard holes are present, no extras, at least where the actual motherboard will be placed. Install the Motherboard rear i/o shield, mount drives if you have them (but be careful of flimsy trays, if it uses those)... mount Case Fans, Power Supply...

That's one way to get started.
