I have only one wall socket which i'm currently running everything off with no problems, this includes: TV, 2 monitors, PC, Xbox, PS3, Lamp, Speakers, 5.1 surround, printer. I'm using 3 x 4 socket extensions(regular, non surge protected) to accommodate all this.

My question: will the addition of my £1000+ gaming pc(arriving next week) have any effect on the load i'm putting on this single wall socket? If so, what can I do about it?

Many thanks in advance :)
 
Should have added that obviously it's not all on at the same time, but yeah, it is a lot of stuff.

Yep, surge protectors will be a must, just shopping for some now.
 
Not sure that's do able without having wires running across the floor. The room is set out perfectly right now, it's a small room and there's not many options layout wise.

Id be surprised if the non PC equipment (printer included as some lasers so pull a fair amount of current) there draws more than 1000W.

I know TVs range based on size of panel and 32" are generally less than 100w. 42" around 150w. Xbox less than 200W. Monitors again vary but 30W would be a fair guess.

Yeah, I remember researching a few months ago, and the general consensus was that all this equipment amounts to a fraction of what the socket can handle.

Was just wondering if adding the gaming PC would tip it over the scales though, don't wanna start a fire or anything!
