hey bro,
buying A ups is dependant on the components you use , not on the Power supply wattage . processor + ram + mobo + hdd consumes aroudn 100 W , a monitor conusmes 25-35W and an external graphics card consumes anywhere between 50 -300W . So you need to tell about your components for exact calculation. and then multiply it by 1.8 times . that much wattage UPS you will need. All UPS are overrated in india atleast , a UPS which shows 350W can actually handle only 160W . damn fraud companies , even APC too. APC is just selling local rebranded ones in lower segment so you are just better off buying a microtek one.
