Hi,

Can you please suggest the minimum power rating of a UPS that i require (650VA/750VA or above).

i have the following
corsair psu - cx 600, i5-3570 k, asrock z77 extreme 4, 16GB Ripjaws-X, Zotac GTS 450(eco edition), 2TB WD cav-green, 1TB WD cav-green, DVD RW

LG LED 20"

please suggest.

Thanks
 
I only protect what my computer can draw instead of the full wattage of the psu. I don't worry too much about run time sunce I don't game in a power outage if it lasts more than a couple of minutes.

Based on those caveats and your stats you would be looking for a 350W or better and above a 550VA.

The big names in UPS are APC, Cyberpower and Tripp Lite. Here are a few offerings that would meet your needs.
