hello,
as the title says , please confirm me if i can use the ups without active pfc one, coz i can buy only 1500va ups from apc only, and its the only good range ups available here in india

hi i bought 1000VA ups apc only, also 1000va(600w) is more than enough for high gaming pc . and when i am at full load total pc watt goes not more than 350w. this upc has enough wattage space to support even future upgrade too. dont buy 1500va one since that extra 500va is of no use . just go for 1000va one. Active pfc ups applies for gold certified psu's types.Also active pfc ups is not available in india . but still no worries buy apc ups its better since corsair vs 650 is non active pfc one. when power goes off at my full load whitle playig games. battery back up gives me time atlest 15mins to shutdown usually while gaming. In normal load (movies, browsing, multitasking etc) of pc apc ups gives me 61mins back up .

so buy apc 1000va ups and in future u can add extra wattage to it too without changing existing one if necessary so dont go with 1500va . i say 1000va is more than enough even for the pc having 3 gpus' crossfired. or high end intel cpus', 1000va will be plenty room and wont be overloaded as at full load it only uses 50% right now mine . hope its clear ,any doubts ask me
