i need a good UPS for my gaming rig

THEwed123wet · Nov 22, 2015

i want a UPS who let me like 5- 10 minutes the shutdown the systems and one with good build quality

My build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/83L3P6 (i think i'm gonna add some speakers)

and i have a question:

a UPS can save my pc if a thunnderbolt hits my house?

Get a antec hcg 620w it has 60+ amps on the 12v rail to easily power all your needs. And its also extremely reliable and we'll made

And yes the psu has surge protection,

ok, so lets transfer some knowledge here.

to find out how many watts you are looking at, is you need to see how many 12v rails the PSU has.

If there is one, which most gamers prefer, you need to do the math.

12v X however many amps= how many watts you have on that rail.

If you have multiple rails, such as my PSU i have 5, but each rail is enough amps to support what i need individually.

Get it?

If you just want an answer to the question, then Yes, yes your build looks solid.

Happy gaming

also, your surge protection should be external, not just rely on the PSU
