Quick question:

If I'm using an 850W power supply but my system full load is only 600W, can I use a 660W UPS?

Yes you can, but you will not have any sort of backup time. Maybe a minute or 2 at best. But you will still have a very good surge protector.

And I doubt your system would actually draw 850W.

I see, cool. I don't need to be able to continue using my computer during a power outage. I just want enough time to shut down my system properly.

Then depending on your system power draw, you should have ample time.
