Get this optical drive instead, it's the same but with Lightscribe and it's retail.

I've heard that, if you don't wear anti-static wrist bands, it's best to install the power supply first and plug it in to a socket on the wall, so it acts as an earth wire. Then you can just touch a metal part of the case occasionally to dissipate the static.

Why didn't you go for a £666 spec? 
Before building I tend to touch a radiator or copper pipe which earthed, whether this actualy helps as you I still need to walk on the carpet to get to the pc
I have yet to blow something through static, just be sensable
Why is it a 665 spec and you only have spent £603.41 ?
Regards to static, as long as you don't plan on moonwalking on a nylon carpet when putting your machine together, then grounding yourself on the case every so often is fine.
You can pick up an AS wristband for as little as a couple of quid which will keep you grounded for the duration of the build

Thanks for the advice guys
