Long story short I have my system built minus the PSU and GPU. The PSU should be here Wednesday or Thursday (stupid smartpost even though I'm in same state as Newegg warehouse) I just want to stress test the fuck out of it to make sure I didn't mess anything up. What do you suggest?

There are plenty of stress tester programs, prime95, furmark, etc, but the best gauge of stability is to simply use the PC. I have ran systems through 16 hours of prime95 and aida 64 only to have it crash within 5 minutes of a game. Use the computer as normal, and if something doesnt feel right, use a testing program to help diagnose the problem.

Sounds good. Just really hope I didn't fuck something up. At one point I had an old PSU connected but both cables couldnt reach so I couldn't post test it. Then I couldn't get the 24 pin disconnected easily. Then I couldn't line up with io shield easily so was sorta battery ramming it. Oh and my stupid motherboard only lets one of the ram flaps go down didn't realize that. All said though I have an old piece of crap Dell that I could probably piss on and have it work after drying off. So long story short patience and clean the room yours going to be working in first
