I've noticed that when I plug in my PC, I can feel a slight electrical tingle from the USB port (not the motherboard USB ports) and from the screws around my power supply unit (PSU). My computer runs perfectly otherwise, but I'm curious if this is normal and whether it could be harmful. The shock isn't very strong, just a tingling sensation at first, but it's enough to make me worry. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

It sounds like your power outlet may not be grounded properly. That can cause a bit of leakage or stray voltage, which could result in the sensation you're feeling. It's definitely worth checking to make sure everything is grounded to avoid any potential risks. Better safe than sorry!
I had a similar issue! Turns out I needed to get an electrician to check my wiring. It made a huge difference after that!
