Hey all, I am building a pc(gaming and editing pc to be precise) for the very first time.To be honest I have a very little knowledge about a pc, so i came across this site and did some research and finally decided on some components depending upon local availability. Feel free to tell me any suggestion you guys have, I would really appreciate it. The list goes as follows:

Case : Cooler Master 690 III
Processor : i7 7700k
Mobo : ASUS ROG Z270E Gaming
CPU Cooler : Noctua NH-D15
RAM : Corsair Vengence LPX 16GB 2x8GB DDR4 DRAM 3000Mhz PC4-24000 C15 Memory kit
PSU : Corsair RMx series 650x 650w 80+ Gold certified fully modular
Graphic card : Zotac 1070GTX extreme amp edition
SSD : Samsung EVO 850 250GB
HDD : 2x 1TB WD Blue 7200RPM (One for installing and running games and the other for recording)
UPS : 1000VA ?? <- Need help here.....

Monitor : BenQ GW2470HM(24 inch)(1920x1080p)(because its got internal speakers xD)

Also, I would be doing some small overclocking but mostly i would prefer the factory settings of the processor.
Here are my doubts : 1. Will 650w psu be enough?
2. UPS? How many watts or VA and what other things to look in a good
UPS
3. WIll ram fit easily and not obstruct the cooler?
4. Width of the graphic card, would this obstruct the cooler?

Thank you for your time :)
 
Solution
I think 1000 VA should be fine too as the PC will not completely draw 650 watts but if you want to be on the safer side get a 1100 VA one if you can.
1) Plenty enough.
2) I never used an UPS so, i can't answer this :/
3) Noctua cooler is really big, so, in case you have any troubles, use another slot from the motherboard for the RAM.
4) In general, should not be any problem.

Yup I think somewhere nearish 1000VA - 1100VA should be kewl. But I suggest it to be more than 1040VA. As it is normally 0.6 x The wattage ( In this case your PSU ). The build is pretty solid according to me. Just be sure you do not transfer your static energy into your components ( Stand on the ground bare foot, easiest ) and don't try to force anything anywhere, be calm and read the manuals.

Thank man. Also one more thing, I was looking up amazon and saw some UPS mention 1000VA/600w. The confusion here is I am using a 650w PSU, so would this even work? like should i just consider 1000 or 1100 VA and go for it or the watts also??
