20amp (which is still overkill) will be more than enough. It would be better and cheaper (I am a contractor so trust me on this) to run romex to where you need it and not use extension cords. An electric oven with all burners on high and the oven at 500f uses less than 30 amps, a pc no matter how powerful would have a hard time pulling more than 10.

Got it. Bought all 20amp stuff. 12 gauge wire for a 30ft run x3. Thank you for that.

Glad I could save you the extra cost and steer you away from (stranded wire) extension cords.

Sounds great. Those are good backups. They do Sine Wave and will run your 920 watts for about 5-10 minutes. I suggest having an auto-shutoff at like 30% battery capacity.

Those will keep your equipment safe and clean.
