Hi, I'm going to be building a PC. This will be my first time. Will I need an anti static wrist strap as I will be building on carpet?
Also, what do I connect it to if I need one?
 
Solution
no need. wear shoes and ground yourself on a piece of metal before starting and you'll be fine. the inside of the case is good enough to discharge any static from you.

only thing that would be a problem is if you decided to wear wool socks and dance while building it. otherwise the risk is VERY minimal.
