I recently purchased a computer that I am now ready to build. I bought an anti-static wristband because I refuse to dry my first build. Problem is, my case is the NZXT 810 Switch, so it is plastic. Where do I connect the anti-static wristband? The PSU?

Attach it to any unpainted metal. The case has a metal frame, doesn't it? But yes, the PSU will be OK. Or even the I/O shield if there is something to clamp to. The MB has to be mounted to a metal backplate for its grounding, so there has to be metal somewhere.

Don't get too uptight over wearing the wrist strap. Unless your environment is very dry and you have bad ESD issues, you really only need to touch the bare metal of something on the system to discharge yourself now and then. I quit wearing my wrist strap years ago.
