that is very bad. 2 possibilities:
1 - the PSU is faulty and is somehow leaking DC current to the case and is not grounded to the earth (i have seen this before).
2 - the power/power socket in your house is not earthed properly or power cable is faulty with a broken earth.

Test the PC on another premises. If it still does it, then it's something in the pc. Otherwise, you're gonna want an electrician. (Not uncle Bob)

Thanks.But i do have another pc that doesnt have this problem.It is a DEll pc and i dont have the a problem with it.
Anyway thanks iam2thecrow for the solution.I will try to buy a new psu and see what happens.

Are you sure your motherboard is mounted properly, with the standoffs?

Any broken molex/other power connectors with the bare metal touching anything?

I wouldn't continue to use your computer if you can't touch the back of it without getting shocked. You could possibly hurt yourself/ burn your house down like that.
