Best place to plug in PC?

[Tigerwarrior1]

Hello Community!

So I feel like a complete noob at energy and power for asking this, but I'll go for it.

Is it okay for me to plug my PC into a power strip? Or would I need to plug it directly into the wall socket for full power advantage?

Thank you for your time!

Power strips are fine there are too many plugs.

Okay so there isn't any power cap or anything?

Typical homes in the USA have 15 Amp circuit breakers. A high end PC under a heavy workload may draw around 4 Amps. Under normal workloads, it's more like 0.5 to 2 Amps. So, even with a couple of monitors, a printer, a router and desk lamp plugged into a power strip, you're not coming even close to flipping the breaker.

Sounds pretty epic, thanks!
