wood isnt conductive of electricity. and mid summer can mean different things. arctic summer, is cold. michigan summer, is warm or cold, brazil weather, is warm and moist.

so that means that the wood part is ok ? And also when I say summer , I mean something about 30 - 34 degrees Celsius. I live in a island in Mediterranean...

Will I be fine without it ?

As long as you touch the metal part of the case at all times while working with the electronics you should be fine. I dont use a wristband, but I just place a metal object (like a PSU) on the ground to ground myself :)

Yes, just touch the metal part of your case occasionally, this keeps your static charge neutralized and ensures you remain grounded.

If you did all this just for me thanks a lot but I am on the real budget side where I have around 450-500 to spend with the monitor ....

Buy a used monitor via ebay/whatever bargain website there is in your country. Much better than spending 1/3 of your budget on something you could get for ~$50 USD

i took your 1035$ build and made it better. for a monitor? 1080p? a 100$ 24inch monitor will do. dont need to spend uber amount of money on something that has diminishing returns

No problem, also I'm not sure if that pentium needs a cooler, might need to check that.
