Battery addition, or alternator upgrade, please help noob

[Yevi 10+ year member]

i got mk5 jetta, it's an electrical guzzler by itself

my additions

300/4 slash JL amp 300watts

500/1 slash JL amo 500watts

xbox 360 w/monitor 150-250watts

computer 300watts

extras under 50watts

total of 1200-1300 watts extra

should i add an extra battery, or alternator, or both for smoother running system, also i don't need any capacitors due to computer wake up from hibernation time is roughly 9-15 seconds

TIA
