The answer is: maybe. Tell us more about how much power you want to draw, what kind of circuits you expect to draw from, if you need to use extension cords how long, etc.

I'd start by making sure outlets you intend to use are grounded .Seems like it should ought to be but you never know.You can get a little cheap guage.Plug it in if it glows green you're good to go. Turns yellow i'd watch it.Old bldgs can have this problem.
Extension cords are fine but don't be plugging in a surge protector into a surge protector. If you live in the US and its a modern house or apartment or even older its grounded. Its part of the national building code. 600 watts is nothing to pull from a outlet. I have a 700w LED, 4 inch inline fan, additional fan inside the tent etc. Your computer or entertainment system probably pulls more..or take a microwave...1200-1500 watts.
i use extension cords. make sure they are heavy duty (at least 3 pronged) and i also use the multi oult cords( forgot what they are called used for computers) but they all have little circuit breakers on them. they were not cheap either
