Right now i don't have a Grapics card but i'll add one, but not any expensive one a mid or just below mid range cards.

So what UPS you people suggesting to me for my PC?

*The UPS won't even work if your power supply uses a PFC circuit and the UPS model isn't compatible.

Something like THIS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842102132

I see no point in getting a lower Wattage model since the price doesn't get much cheaper for a comparable product. Also, batteries always lose capacity over time so it might last longer.

Don't forget to follow the instructions for USB setup etc to configure the software properly.
Hi sham666
there are many different UPS manufacturers these days , some not available in different countries , search google for UPS Selector for a brand that is available in your country and fill in your system specs and you will get the appropriate UPS

I want to know how much VA UPS i need to buy... To get a 10 -20 min backup
 


The page I linked gives that information. Assuming with a monitor you are not gaming and at about 150Watts you'd get about 20 minutes with the 1000VA/600W model I linked.

(May be a better chart but it's 9 minutes at 300W. It's not proportional though because at 600W it's only 3 minutes.)
