My parents have a cheap set of computer tools in a black zipper case, maybe from Harbor Freight, I can't remember. It includes a wrist grounding strap.
Grounding wrist bands are probably the best thing you can do for your first build to help put your mind at ease.
iFixit's kits (or at least, Pro and above) always include one, because if you aren't being mindful of what you are standing or sitting on and remembering to ground yourself before fidgeting in the case, that wire could save the life of your components.
It's a good skill to acquire, and if everyone knew how to do it they wouldn't ask all their friends or families to do everything for them instead of being self sufficient.

I build my PC on sherpa rugs with wool socks, ass naked

Only after I'm drunk though.
