Hi everyone!
Since i don't know enough about UPSes, i need help in deciding how powerful UPS should i get for my 3 desktop PCs.
First off, system specs,
Skylake: https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/b/bd9J7P
Haswell: https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/b/RRvnTW
AMD: https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/b/2Y9J7P (currently no monitor)
The total combined power draw of my 3 PCs, without monitors, should be about 1000W. Since i'm also planning to connect my monitors to the UPS, i have hard time in figuring out their maximum power draw.
On the back label of my Samsung S23C650D 23" monitor, it's written: "AC100-240V ~ 50/60hz 0.60A". Since where i live, we have 230V electrical system in use and that would translate into 138W (230V x 0.60A = 138W). But when i search online for my monitor specs, most what i've seen is 35W as max power draw. Also, there's no power draw written in the official specs page,

I have the same issue with my 2nd monitor too. Topview T2491Wd 24" and back label reads: "Power Rating: 100-240VAC 50/60hz 1.5A". This would translate into 345W but searching online i've seen only 60W as max power draw for my Topview monitor. Though, there's no official specs page for my Topview monitor since the company who made it is long gone.
If i were to trust online info then both of my monitors combined would consume 95W but if i read the labels then it would be 483W combined. Since the difference is huge, i need to know which set of numbers is the correct one.
As far as UPS types go (stand-by, line-interactive and online), i'm planning to go for line-interactive UPS. And for best performance, i'll be getting only (true/pure) sine wave UPS and not simulated sine wave or square wave UPS, despite their cheaper price.
Currently, i have my eyes on a PowerWalker VI 2000 PSW IEC which is 2000VA/ 1400W line-interactive UPS outputting sine wave,
specs: http://powerwalker.com/?lang=en&page=product&item=10120066
At this point i'm unsure if that 2000VA / 1400W UPS would be enough to sustain all my 3 PCs and their monitors or not. Of course, i need to have some headroom for system upgrades (e.g 3rd monitor) and OC too.
Any help would be appreciated.
