do fans spinning and leds working mean your components work? 

it means that your MB MIGHT work.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

 It does not mean that everything is plugged in completly/correctly. About a week ago I bought a new PSU. Thought I had it all hooked up, fans ran, leds lit up, but it would not post and I had no display. Thought it was the GPU because everything else appeared to be working since fans and lights were going. Turns out the 24 pin connector was not in all he way.

Hard to say if everything since there is no real sign other than power going to the fans, you will need to wait for your GPU to come in before you can get any solid answer. You can use another GPU on hand if you have on temporarily to check if the RAM, CPU, and mobo are working properly and the system posts.
