So, I'm interested in building/upgrading computers, but I always feared I would fry somethin costing me more than what I could of saved. I was wondering if any1 had any tips for me for avoid static electricity and handling possibly delicate parts.

You can always use an anti static wrist strap. I just make sure to touch the metal frame of the case before I handle any interior parts.

Yeah I do the same, I touch the case before touching anything, but if im working inside the case, I rest my arms on the inside of the case so I touch the metal at all times.
