I plan to create a sort of office/game room within my house and I'm worried that I may overload my outlets. I plan to have a PC using a 1000w psu whilst also having a 130w tv, an xbox one, and a dvd player. Will this be safe, or do you recommend a safer option?

The question isn't whether you have a 1000W PSU but whether you'll actually use anywhere near that power. PSUs only draw the power they need.

Outside of that, you'll have to look yourself at the circuit box. Most circuits in the US are 15A or 20A, so 1800W or 2400W, but you gotta knock a couple hundred off if it's continuous power use.
