I need to buy an UPS for my gaming rig. Here is PC config
i5 + Gigabyte MB
250 GB HDD
R9 270X
Antec VP 550
Dell 21.5 inch monitor
Budget is 2k. IF it is not possible within the budget, pls let me know other models as well
get a 1/1.1 kva ups from APC.
i have been using the 800VA dual-battery microtek UPS for my PC for the past 1 year or more. had got it for 2-2.5k i think. have an APC UPS too (1.1kVA), being used with my TV and multimedia devices. the following is my PC's config:
i7 2600k
asus p8z68 v-pro
gskill ripjaws x 8GB DDR3 RAM
MSI GTX580 Lightning III 1.5GB
corsair tx850 v2
2 dvd burners
a fan controller
HAFX
a 24" benq monitor
edifier da5000 pro speakers
canon MP287 AIO printer
plus, an xbox 360 console hooked to the same UPS
How is the backup with that 800VA UPS?
i've seen it support my PC for atleast 20-30 mins. i then turn off my PC. before i purchased this UPS, a few owners had told me that it gave them about an hour or may be a little more of back-up; would depend on config and PC-operation i guess.
