> You'll have to ditch that iBall crap. These are very poor UPS and will not be able to power an FX 6300 with a decent graphic card.

> You'll also have to ditch that Circle crap. It will not be long enough to accommodate any decent graphic card and will have very poor air flow and cable management.

It's better than iBall AFAIK. BTW how is Vguard?

V-guard is one of the highly trusted brands in kerala. although mine provides 300watts output ,but has several features embedded in it.
