PC build without proffesional gear

[begadelavela]

Hi guys, 

so some of the parts for second build are arriving and this time I will build it myself or with my friend. I heard a lot about PC building problems and if you can give me some advice about build.

First of all I don't have some special gear like magnetic screwdriver or ESD wrist wrap or mat...

So if you could help me how to prevent electrostatic damage of the components and some other tips about PC building.

PC PARTS:

Ryzen 1400

AsRock AB350m DS

Patriot 2x4GB 2400mhz DDR4

Gigabyte gtx 1060 Xtreme Gaming 6GB

1 TB seagate HDD

Corsair cx450m (new grey version)

Zalman z1 neo

 

That is all I hope guys you could help me!

All you need is a Phillips screwdriver

I would:

 

1.) Put the motherboard on top of the box that it came on when installing CPU, RAM, etc. for anti-static.

2.) Keep one hand on the METAL frame of the case (not plastic) while installing anything on the motherboard to avoid short-outs.

 

I did these two things and my PC is working fine today.

I don't have an antistatic wrist strap, just touch the metal of your case often.  I've currently got 2 builds under my belt with something like 7 rebuilds.  You should be safe as long as you are cautious

does the metal needs to be unpainted?

Nope, both cases I've worked with have been painted.
