Assuming you have a good reason for doing this, I'd check that the DC voltage input to the inverter from the PC supply doesn't exceed inverter input limits, within the range of the loads you are putting on the inverter output.

PC switching supplies may be persnickety about what load they are seeing.

Expect the total power available from a modern pc psu's 12volt rail to be about 200watts. If you use that to power an inverter expect ~150-175 watts available at the output of the inverter. If your load exceeds 200watts the pc psu will probably shut down.

A 500w pc psu I randomly selected at newegg provides 12V@16A.
That is 192 watts.

Another option for a large inverter like this is a car battery or deep cycle battery.

1200 watts @12 volts is 100 amps. Do you have a PC power supply capable of 100 amps or 200 amp peak?
