H15blk Power Conditioner safe with an Active PFC PSU?

I decided to order the H15blk power conditioner as a surge protector and for its AVR for my gaming PC.   I'm not worried about a sudden shutdown during a blackout as this is mostly a gaming machine, so I don't care about battery backup.   I'm powering my PC with a 1300w EVGA Super Nova G2 Active PFC power supply.  

Is the H15blk okay for a gaming computer?  I'm starting to read more and I cannot find anyone who really uses these for a PC.  

Would the H15blk be considered pure sine wave since it doesn't switch to battery power, thats my main concern.  My PSU needs a pure sine wave compatible unit and I dont want to harm the PSU or worse when the AVR kicks in.   Or does that only matter if its a UPS?

Any of the quality UPS's that are pure sine wave are way out of my budget if I wanted to supply my PC with the full 1300w..     Im running dual SLI GPUs so I will be using about 1100w at peak times. 

Any advice is appreciated.    Thank you.

Hello!
iam actually chasing the same information as you are.
 I had an expensive GPU burned because of power surges. I built a new computer with expensive hardware and a 1000W EVGA PSU.
I was researching about UPSs and iam very afraid about how many bad reviews those UPSs around US$250 has. And even those around 700.
So iam looking now at a power conditioner with microprocessros that has a over and under voltage cut off.
going to look at this model you said.
thanks.
