Need depends on your power draw, not PSU wattage rating. You'll need something like this to measure the wattage draw "at the wall".

if you draw 500 watts and nothing else is plugged in 1000VA is just fine.... If you plugging monitor and other stuff in then ya gotta go bigger. I use a 1500VA model w/ 1250 watt PSU ... draws 745 watts at the wall under stress test

I would not use anything from APC.... since they were taken over by Schneider Electric, quality and service has gone in the toilet

Usable (+$15 over budget) - Run time at full load = 2 minutes

I look to size a UPS based upon the amount of power the system users at max load x 2..... so a 650 watt PSU that draws 500 watts at max load, I'd look for 1000VA

I would not recommend using less than this

But personally, I'd use this
