You can use the spike buster, just make sure that the main components like CPU and Monitor are connected to the CPU in case of a power cut.

yeah i've done that, but was worried if i'm doing the right thing.
earlier i was connecting cable extension box to wall socket,
ups and speaker to cable extension box,
then spike buster to ups,
and then connected cpu, monitor and modem to spike buster.

i was worried if my new method mentioned in the first post was ok.

The main function of the Spike Buster is to safe guard the PC from power surge.
Connect the Spike Buster to the wall socket and then use the extension cord if you must. This way it will be more efficient. But using a extension cord is not recommended, it may hamper power input.
