Hi,i'm thinking of ordering a APC BR1000G UPS For my rig listed below.
CPU-I5 4690K
COOLER-HYPER 212 EVO
PSU-SEASONIC 750W
MOTHERBOARD-ASUS Z97-A
HDD-2X SATA HDD 7200RPM
SSD-120GB SSD
My question is,will the ups be enough for my rig?i don't want much backup,just 3-5 mins,just to turn-off my pc.Thanks.

If you look at APC product page you will see that it will support 6 min at 500W. Use one of the power supply estimator websites to determine you estimated usage. You don't show a video card in your parts list so you should be OK.

That UPS has a USB port. You should be able to hook a USB cable and have the UPS automatically shut down the PC before the battery is exhausted.
