Friends, Please go through my rig in the signature and suggest me a good UPS. I would be adding one more 23" LED monitor in a month or two. Cash to spare on this is maximum 10k. Even a 5 mins backup on full load while gaming would be sufficient for me to shut off the system.

Errr.. 1.1 Kkva can output 660 watts maximum :( I need something which can handle max 800 watts.
I think this would be the best - Theitdepot - APC Back UPS 1500 (BR1500G-IN)
But is there anybody who is selling it for less than that ?

Thx mate. Got this link for 1500va from it - *www.theitdepot.com/details-APC+Back+UPS+1500+(BR1500G-IN)_C37P13868.html
But I know that theitdepot always sell items overpriced. So now finding a seller who can sell at less cost than this.

AFAIK, you wont need a 800W ups. the 1.1kva will be enough to give you a few precious minutes to save your work and shut your PC down.

According to my calculations... my rig takes 650 watts under full road... So I'm better safe than sorry by taking a 800 watts capable UPS. I dont want it to trip saying "Overload" :p
