Is an anti-staticwrist-strap really needed when you're handling hardware?
It might be a stupid question but i just want to make sure 100%
Thanks

i don't use one, and have never had a component die on me due to handling
How about an anti-static mat?

try not to assemble your computer while standing on carpet as well.
Along with the carpet... don't scuff your feet on the ground with socks on or anything else to generate static, and everything else that's been said is good advice too.

Cheap anti-static wriststrap: make sure your skin is touching the case as you remove/insert any hardware.
As far as inserting a M/B, if it has a large enough chipset heatsink, you can just hold it by that.
That's what I've done.
