I have the following config and looking for cheap UPS solution that would give me a backup of 5 minutes. My budget is around ₹2k (Let me know if the budget has to be extended).

  1. i5-4440 + Gigabyte GA-H81M-S
  2. Asus GTX960 2GB DDR5 Strix OC
  3. Antec VP550P
  4. 1 x WD Blue HDD and 1 x WD Green HDD

Is that enough to provide a backup of 5 minutes for my config? I see you have a similar config like mine and 600VA UPS. How much backup do you get?

So, you think it is good choice for my config too considering that I have a GTX 960?

Its better to go with CyberPower 1000VA UPS @ 4.1k (considering you have GTX960 as I have only GTX750Ti)

Okay. It is almost twice my budget. Will a 800VA UPS do? If not, I'll try to extend my budget and get this 1000VA UPS itself.
