Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, I just got a surge protector (never used one before) and I want to plug my gaming PC into it. My question is will the surge protector provide enough power to my pc? Does it provide less power then just plugging my pc in the wall? I have an Evga g3 750w psu with a 1080ti, 8700k so just want to be sure it will be getting enough power. This is the surge protector I’m using: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000513US/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_8838AbNW91YGS

A surge protector typically doesn't limit the power supplied to devices that are plugged in to it. This surge protector has a circuit breaker at 12A and is rated for 1440W. At worst case, your PC probably max's out at about 600W under full load. So, your PC is not even close to the limit. You can also plug in monitors, router wall warts, cell phone power adapter, etc and protect them all from power surges.
