My config:

CPU:Intel core i5 3470 3.2Ghz.

Mainboard :Asus P8H61-MLX3 R2.0

Ram: Transcend 8gd DDR3 1333Mhz

GPU: Gigabyte GTX660 OC windforce 2gb GDDR5

PSU:Thermaltake Litepower 600W Black edition.

Samsung 18.5 inch LED monitor.

UPS: Prolink 650VA .

First of all,1) i want to know about the total power consumption of my rig.
2)What power will my PSU draw from the UPS?
3)Is my UPS good enough for that?

One last thing is, I don't really want to buy a new UPS right now as mine is a new one. Load shedding in our area is quite negligible. If the UPS is not enough and i connect my PSU and Monitor to Direct line; will it be harmful for my system???

Thanks in advance.

If it is the model that has a USB connection to your computer, it will be sufficient to allow an orderly automatic shutdown. If not, it is pretty small if you have power issues very often. That said, any UPS is better than none.

If you include the monitor, your UPS will probably last about 8-10 minutes on battery before it is out of power.

One of my computers is similar and without the monitor draws about 150W during low demand uses (that is the load that the UPS registers), which gives it about 36 minutes power on a 1500VA UPS.
