Nah that's way over budget.I already cut a few corners for my Ryzen build.My max budget is 800,can't really go higher than that.
What is missing? What is the threat? Potentially destructive surges are hundreds of thousands of joules. What does that Belkin or APC claim to 'absorb'? Hundreds? A thousand joules? That is near zero protection. Always read specification numbers. Always ignore any recommendation that is subjective.
A surge that tiny can be converted by electronics into rock stable, low DC voltages to safely power its semiconductors. One would spend so much money to only protect from a surge that is not even destructive? Worse, a potentially destructive surge blows through (damages) a near zero joule protector.
View spec numbers for a UPS. It is even tinier. Someone recommended even less protection because specification numbers were ignored.
If that PC needs protection, then everything (dishwasher, dimmer switches, central air, refrigerator, CFL & LED bulbs, etc) everything needs that protection. Informed consumers spend tens of times less money (per protected appliance) by properly earthing a 'whole house' solution.
Numbers. Lightning can be 20,000 amps. So a minimal 'whole house' protector is 50,000 amps. Then protection remains functional for decades after many direct lightning strikes. None of those plug-in protectors will even discuss such protection.
That 50,000 amps defines protector life expectancy over
many surges. Protection during
each surge is defined by what harmlessly absorbs hundreds of thousands of joules. That is the always required 'single point earth ground'. What do ineffective protectors not have and will not discuss? A low impedance (ie less than 3 meter) hardwire connection to earth.
Every layer of protection is only defined by the item that harmlessly dissipates surge energy. Each protection layer is only defined by earth ground. Protector does not do protection. Protector is simply a connecting device (low impedance: ie hardwire has no sharp bends) to what dissipates a surge. Earth ground.
Protection is always defined by an answer to this question. Where are hundreds of thousands of joules harmlessly absorbed? A protector is only as effective as its earth ground. Spend tens of times less money on what always exists in facilities that cannot have damage.
