for just saving your work and then shutdown, i think apc 600va would suffice.

But can apc 600va handle if electricity goes when I am playing games like assassins creed 4, far cry 3.
I was thinking to buy APC 800va UPS

I just asked primeABGB they said its not available.
So I'll have to buy apc 600va UPS
But will it provide backup for two minutes when gaming..?
