Can I plug PC into extension lead?

[jekkaboi]

Ok, I'm building my first PC soon, and it would be most convenient to plug it into an extension power lead. The lead is rated at 13A 250V, and it has an Xbox One, a TV, and a PS4 plugged into it, the PC would be plugged into the one slot left. PC part picker says the PC will be 295W, and I'm getting a '600W 80+ certified' PSU.

So is it safe to use the extension lead to power the PC, or will something break? Thanks for the help.

It should be fine. That said, just try not to have everything on, running at full power all at once. In theory it should be able to handle all of it, but that is a lot of stuff to have powered down a single line. As long as you aren't holding the XBox controller in one hand, the PS4 one in the other, and are running Doom on the PC with your feet, you should be ok. Not that I expect that to happen for most people.
