WOULD APC OR MICROTEK 650VA UPS be enough or not??

Answer 1

As per your PC specifications and your PC utility your load would come around 400 to 500 Watts approx. (also including your monitor, assuming it to be 17 inch). So I would recommend you to go for a 1KVA APC Back UPS. It includes USB control and surge protection. Where as 650VA won't be able to support your load.



I've calculated in full load where you'll get a backup of 6 minutes. Also I have put some safer side.. just in case the load is higher.



I'd recommend APC because they are world leaders in UPS manufacturing and servicing. You'll get a warranty of 2 years as well. Microtek are inverter manufacturers and cannot be compared to APC.

Answer 2

Your looking at about 430w with everything running at full-load. I bumped it up a little bit higher because of all the case fans you have in your system. While shutting down the number should be more like 200-250w because you running the system but your card should be near idle.



Then you need to count in your monitor as well.



A 27" monitor consumes 40w, a 23" consumes 30w, and a 20" consumes 20w. These are typical numbers.



Maybe a total of 240-290w.



I'm sure you could make it work with a 650va UPS. I think if you were cought offguard then a 750va UPS may be a better choice.

Answer 5

As for wattage, anything less that 550-600W, is really too small.
