I need some very descriptive and detailed steps on building my pc and need some questions answered.
• how often should i reapply thermal paste
• I often should i use air compressor on my pc to clean
• is it necessary to apply thermal paste on gpu
• where should I stick the other end of the anti static wrist wrap to? Onto the case itself?
 
Watch the newegg videos on youtube on how to build a computer.

How often to dust depends on your environment. I do it about every 3 months.
I clip the wrist strap to a piece of bare metal inside the case. Most folks don't use one at all and dont have issues. Just dont drag socked feet across carpet and start touching components :)

- thermal paste should be reapplied every 2-3 years according to the Phanteks paste I hold in my hands right now
- regarding cleaning - that really depends on how dusty your case gets
- haven't heard that yet
