Got one of these coming today with my new CPU

I heard you have to keep the PC connected at the mains but turned off whilst connecting the strap to the PSU

I'm scared i'll get an electric shock doing this ? Id feel more comfortable disconnecting the PC completely from the mains
.
Should I just ground myself periodically by touching my electric radiator and touch the pc case before disconnecting it

Touch the PC case while your disconnecting it. Plus wear the rubber shoes and ground the anti static band to prevent getting shocks. Press the power button for 5 sec while the computer is disconnect to the mains, it will flush out any remaning power in the system. Some people even tap serveral times on the power supply to discharge electricity.
