APC 600VA is good, but i read somewhere on TDF that its discontinued or something...

you can go for Microtek, Frontech, iBall etc... confirm A.S.S. in your area.

crap.. sorry.. i didnt see the 7900Radeon series..

Go for 1.1KVA APC. those are online line interactive UPS and have excellent backup.

600Va = 350 watts ,so naturally it will overload,better get a 1.1Kva from APC. Your processor is alone a 125 watter without any overclocks and then the GPU and other parts. So.

There are some like micro tek and vguard, numeric and power com but I don't recommend them as they don't have good after sales service and put your hardware into risk.

Do not buy the apc br1000-in it is discontinued and as it was a failure product and replaced by br1000G-in which costs 7.5k+ and has cool front LCD display :p

They are not online... Line interactive I guess. Online ups cost crazy and maintainance charges are high as it runs over the battery always providing quality power output
