Hey guys,I wanted to buy a UPS to provide a power back-up to my PC My system specifications are :

CPU : i5 2400 3.1o Ghz, 6 cache
Motherboard : Intel DH 67 CL B3
GPU : MSI HD 6790
RAM : Value Corsair Memory — 4GB DDR3 Memory (CMV4GX3M1A1333C9)
HDD : WD Caviar Blue (WD5000AAKX) 500GB
Optical Drive : Asus DRW-24 B3ST
Case : CM elite 310 or 311
SMPS: Seasonic S12II 520 w Bronze
Monitor : Dell ST2220 L
KB+ Mouse : Logitech combo MK 200

Pls mention your budget.

APC or Microtek 800VA depending on your budget.

Max that I can spend on the UPS is 3000 and I think APC 800VA cost about 4800 so I want to know if APC 600 VA suits me or another other good brand which offers 800VA UPS

Apc 1500va

Or is it extreme trolling?

@ OP - you can get APC 650VA UPS at 3k which has software support ;-)

throwing in a suggestion ICE 800VA @3.3k no idea about the product havent used it, a couple of my friends are using 600va ones comes with 2 year warranty like APC and shopkeepers say that ICE is a Dlink owned brand

Never heard if 'ICE" brand and never seen anyone using it.
AFAIK, D_Link is not associated with any brand.
So, it must be a cr@p desi brand whose products local shopkeeper trying to sell off.
Suggestion to OP?
Avoid it.

ICE 1KVA UPS costs 3.3k not the 800VA one but I don't this is a very good brand - so OP better avoid it.

The only other decent brand I can recommend to Op is Numeric and the 1KVA model costs 4.1k - no idea about the 800VA model though.

For Op's need and budget an APC 650 VA @ 3.3k ( price hiked ) seems most suitable as it has the longest warranty period and after sales service is also good.
