What surge protector should I get for my PC + setup?

[Tweed]

I've been looking around and saw these:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16812120524

https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-Protector-INSURANCE-TLP808B/dp/B014JWEELK/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1485156186&sr=8-7&keywords=surge+protector&refinements=p_89%3ATripp+Lite

https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-BE112230-08-12-Outlet-Power-Protector/dp/B000J2EN4S/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1485157175&sr=8-3&keywords=surge%2Bprotector&th=1

Any others you recommend or between these which should I get? Gonna mount on the bottom of my desk probably.

Basically, if the grounding of the PC (incl. your house electrical installation) in your house is already good, you won't be needing surge protectors.
If you do need surge protectors, I think, all 3 in your links are good. The Tripp Lite ISOBAR6ULTRA looks the most convincing though'.

Wouldn't a small UPS in the same price range be a better solution for protecting your equipment? You would get protection from sags along with the protection from surges.

UPS? No UPS cost under USD50 but UPS will give a lot more protection, not only overvoltage protection.
You might wanna consider having UPS instead.

There are a couple of small UPS units on Newegg that are under $50. They will not keep your system running for 15 or more minutes but they should keep it up long enough for most short outages and give you enough time to shut down.
