Thats a great UPS. I'm using it for my Athlon ii x4 635 + HD 6850. Its given me a 30 min backup so far and then i shut down the PC. 5-10 mins for your rig shouldn't be a problem.

Considering your config, as tenida have said already, APC 1.1KVA is a very good choice for you.

Should have posted your config but since you say upto 5k you can't go wrong with the APC 1.1KVA for 4.5k, that almost everyone here uses. I've got one too.
