Dear All,

Please suggest me a good UPS which will be able to provide me backup for the below config during a power failure...

SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 OC with Boost VAPOR-X

G.Skill ripjaws 1600 MHz 8 GB
NZXT Guardian 921 RB USB 3.0 Cabinet

get apc 1100va ups. ups from cyberpower seems to be descent too.
never use ups to power your tube light or ceiling/table fan.they do not love stepped sine wave consume much power too. use inverter instead.

APC 1100VA will be able to provide backup for your rig. Should cost you approx ₹ 5600. You didn't mention your budget however.
You can go for Microtek 1100VA as well for approx ₹ 4500.
Check price in Vedant and MD Computers. Don't buy from E. Logica. Last I heard Mani left the store for a while and their services gone very bad after that.

Also as rijinpk1 already said don't power tubelight, fan with ups. I lost 2 mobile chargers when I used it with ups.
