I'm building my first PC today.

I will be working on carpet.. Well standing on carpet and working on a desk would it be

preferable to break one of those cardboard boxes and flatten it to stand on?

Don't wear socks and get an antistatic wristband

There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.

So just go barefoot and touch the case before I handle the parts?

The case itself has to be grounded for you to be grounded. Plug the PSU into the socket, leave it off and use it to ground yourself.

The case and all of the parts will be on a wooden table.

1. Ground your case

2. Make sure all of your parts are on the table

3. Wear no socks

4. continually ground yourself every 7 or so minutes

 

Follow the steps and you should be good to go  B)
