Correct-a-mundo on the 80% rule. Try to utilize that outlet that is on its own breaker, hopefully it is a 20-amp one. If not, have it changed to one. Then as long as you use either a 12 or 14 gauge cord to your outlet strip, then out to the various components, you should be fine up to 100 feet away - and total load of up to 1600 watts. :thumbsup:
