Your UPS can only give 360w, and the computer needs 463w according to your calculations, hence the system has to shut down.

So yes, you need a new UPS of about 500w.

I don't think that this rig will consume 463watts,but more like 200/250watt when gaming.But with that number in mind and the specs here,
http://www.theitdepot.com/details-APC+Back+UPS+800VA+%2...
should this not be enough since it's a 400watt ups.I'm not familiar with an ups so can only look at it from a logical point of view,but that shouldn't be enough.If i'm wrong then i'm sorry and please explain why so that i learn from this.

400w is cutting it a bit too close. You should always be using only about 80% of the total capacity for maximum efficiency and for stability hence 500w is about right.

EDIT: You suggested the same one as I did, and that one is 480w not 400w.

My 4770k at stock clocks used just above 100w when fully loaded Folding@home. Now that is efficiency. Pcs dont use near the juice they used too. My old Mac pro would pull 800w while folding back in the day.

This is an FX8320 we are talking about. It takes 125w to run.

I just copied your link for my remark,it's not a recommendation.In the specs it says 400watts for that one.

It can take 125watts,that doesn't necessarely mean it really uses that much.

125w at max and yeah, I know they use more juice. I was just trying to make my point that we don't need the juice of even 4 years ago.
