Go to solution Solved by TheNinjaNextDor,

ok so with my anti static wrist band im good ? 

or should i get like a piece of metal to stand on ?

You're fine. I would still touch the case a lot though.

 

Yes, having something non-carpet would be slightly better.

Do it on a table or a work surface and there is no need for wrist straps.

A lot of times I build on a rug with no kind of anti static anything. Just touch the case a lot and you're good.

I built my pc on carpet, doesn't mean you should do it.  Get yourself a plank of wood or lay down your case box on the floor and stand on that, dont wear socks and roll up your sleeves.

It is really worth the $5 investment for the wrist strap

Yeah but its not worth being annoyed with it dangling on your wrist.

Not that annoying, just get a detachable one.

What's more annoying is breaking your new part by static and then having to RMA it.

Build It. Mod It. Customize It.
