Hi guys, just a little advice needed.

Got my new PC today with the idea of getting a better GPU later on and in the meatime putting my current GTX750ti in there.

Now id like some tips on how to not fry anything while installing it as static is a big concern and its also my first time doing it.

I read about anti-static wrist bands? Is there any place you guys know where to get these or is there a better way / standard practise for this?

Thanks for the help!

Plug in the PC so it's earthed, then turn off the PSU at the switch in the back and just touch the case constantly, best if you can keep a hand on the case.

Try and stand on tiles.

Messing with GPU isn't really an issue and really easy to swap out.

You can switch it off at the wall as well.
