I'm using an anti-static wrist strap and connecting it to the computer case, and the computer case is connected to the PSU, which had a cord connecting to the power strip. I turned the power strip off, but would that make the ground now off as well, or is it grounded regardless of the power strip?

Does it not matter if I turn the power strip on?

If you turn the psu off and don't connect it to the actual socket in the wall, you're grounded
