My current configuration is:

i7 4790k

ASUS Maximus Hero VII Hero

8 gb ram

2 TB Hard disk + 250 GB SSD

graphics : zontac gtx 750 ti 2gb (PLANNING TO UPGRADE TO GTX 780 TI)

------- my current PSU is 600 W cooler master.

Kindly recommend is my current PSU is enough or should I buy greater than 600 W. Also recommend a good UPS for my system which can give back up time more than 30 mins (In my view APC BR 1000G - kindly provide feedback shal I go with it or do some more research)

It would be very kind of you to please guide me in this.

Thanks..

for the current config, your current PSU is fine. But if you add 780Ti, get Seasonic SII12 ~ 6k and get APC 1100VA ~ 5.5k

on a side note, don't add 780Ti, get GTX 980/990 ;)

You can add an aftermarket cooler if you oc or if run CPU intensive tasks for long hours. For normal gaming and usage its not needed.
