I have a Corsair 750 Watt Rmx Gold rated Power Supply.
 
CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB
SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 500GB
HDD: Seagate FireCuda SSHD 1TB
RAM: Corsair CMW16GX4M2C3000C15 2x8GB
MBD: Asus ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING
Monitor: ASUS VG248QE 24'' 1920X1080P 144HZ It can run 60hz 85hz 100hz 130hz and 144hz. Dual Link.
I plan to use Display port but I know this is pointless to mention.
 
I did a PC part picker and it draws 304 watts give or take but I used the  psu calculator and it shows Load Wattage: 375 W
Recommended PSU Wattage: 425 W and it shows I draw about 425 watts. However the surge protector I am using is from Walmart and it's called Ultra Pro. It has like over about 2160 joules.
I just want the proper power surge to protect my PC and have good power. I am trying to convince my family members to get a electrician to check the wires in the house but it'll be expensive. I won't blame the house but the house is a bit old but I will move soon anyways. I just want a good efficient surge protector to provide the proper power for my Desktop. I need some honest expertise from any gamers out there. One more question. I have a motherboard that supports display port. Am I able to play games with my video card if I use my motherboard display port or does it HAVE to be connected to the video card to play required titled games? Get back to me. Thanks!
 

First off the video card out should be the connection to use.
 
As for the I would recommend a universal power supply as those have a battery inside that will give the computer time to shutdown in the event of a power outage. With just a surge protector if the power suddenly goes out the computer instantly loses power and everything you are doing is lost. By using a battery you also protect against a home with old wiring that can be a bit unstable or that has circuits that sometimes trip. This is the more expensive option as costs can be $100 and up and the battery will only last a couple years before it needs to be replaced which can be about half the cost of the unit.
 
For if a surge of power that happens from lets say a lighting strike it's less important to have a huge surge protector. The lighting would have to hit between your home and the nearest transformer. Half of the strike would travel into your home and the other half would travel to the transformer. The half that hits the home would then travel into everything inside of the home so your TV, lightbulbs, microwave, dishwasher and even your garbage disposal would all take the same share of energy as your computer. That explained Ultra Pro doesn't sound like a brand I recognize as I normally would look for something more like Belkin, APC, GE, Tripp Lite, or Cyber Power. The higher the Joules of course the better and for a PC I would try to look for something more around the 4,000 range. This option would be closer to $20 to $40. You can spend more but I kind of feel that it's more of extra features at that price or look at that price range. What I have hooked up to my TV was like $18.99 but that was on sale.

The only reason I use a surge protecting power strip is because I can turn one socket of a duplex receptacle into many more.

This is really the Best Surge Protector.

I was going to ask the OP if he meant UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) like what bcavnaugh posted instead of surge protector, as others have pointed out - as it's name means - a surge protector protects against a power surge from either a lightning strike or failing transformer.
It doesn't really matter too much how much power you draw through it.
 
An UPS on the other hand you really need to have the correct sized one to properly power the connected devices
 
I good (and higher priced then your generic surge protectors) is something like - https://www.tripplite.com/isobar-6-outlet-surge-protector-6-ft-cord-3300-joules-diagnostic-leds~ISOBAR6ULTRA
 
I have a few different model Tripplite isobar series surge protectors
 
Edit note:For clarification - there is no "Gaming" surge protector or UPS - if you do find one that is labeled as such it is marketing hype and probably over priced

 
I think he just meant one that covers a gaming PC, Which as we know often have larger power output than a PC sold just for surfing the web.

Thanks guys I meant a surge protector but a APC is something I would consider though unless I move to a nicer place. I'll look into it.
 
Best Buy is the only place I can go besides Micro Center unless I get time to go then I will.
 
Can you recommend me a good brand you usually use? Including display port? I have a display port from best buy and I sorta hate it. it's a cheap brand. What is the best brand to use?
 
I have an ASUS VG248QE 144hz monitor. I am using a display port brand called INSIGNIA. One more thing. How many joules do I need? I read that you need at least 1,000 joules for PC gaming I believe? Sorry for the double post. In a hurry. Couldn't delete the other post lol.

Its Not like I recommended my more serious UPS sizes, for multi-GPU protection
