Power pull on sockets

Got a question about power/electricity to my equipment. A UPS/power conditioner is an upcoming purchase. What I'm wondering is how many things can I reasonably plug into the UPS since its only plugged into 1 socket?
The UPS has 10 sockets w/ 5 that are battery backup. TV, PS3, AVR, and future amp will be plugged into the battery side. The other 5 sockets will have a VCR, other older game systems, and recharge station for controllers. A sub may also be in the mix, plugged into the same wall outlet, not the same plug. This list is just to give you and idea of what the pull will be. Can one wall socket supply all this stuff properly?

Pretty sure it depends on the current rating of plug and breaker. Assuming a standard 15 amp plug and breaker, that would be 1800 watts. If I remember the formulas correctly. I would probably keep it to 80% of that figure, myself. So call it 1500 watts, if that's a little more helpful.
