First time PC builder, grounding dilemma

[Comi92]

Ok, so tomorrow I am supposed to build my new PC, already ordered new components and i got one of those anti static wrist bands... But now i noticed that the case i ordered is fully painted.

Maybe it's a silly question, but can i connect my anti static band to my old PC case while i'm installing my components in the new case?
I also read that i can connect it to plugged in but switched off PSU, but i'm not sure is my outlet grounded. It looks like this:

Thanks

Yes you can attached the band to your old case, That will work fine, Or just put it on your ankle like everyone else 😉

Never seen the reason to even use one. Just a little common sense like touching metal every now and then, not building on carpet wearing just socks.
