Hi, i'm looking an ups that can support my gig.

i have:
core 2 duo E8500 (i want to overclock it)
Evga nforce 780i ftw
Patriot Viper pc8500 2x2GB
Evga Nvidia GTX 285 (not overclocked)(i'm planning to buy another one to dual sli)
2 sata hard disk of 500 GB
1 Samsung DVDRW 22x
OCZ OCZTVEND2 Vendetta 2 Cooler
Cooler Master ATCS 840 Case
Ultra X3 Psu 1000w
Samsung TOC 26"

I've checked the recommended psu wattage at http://www.antec.outervision.com/PSUEngine, with the dual sli, cpu peak load 100% and capacitor aging 20%

The recommended is 859w, and the x3 at that range gives a 79% efficency, so if i'm right the full load from the AC is 1020w aprox.

so, i think a ups of 1500va can gives power to 980w aprox.

Can i buy a 1500va ups or i need more power?

Thanks.

Will you be playing demanding games that will keep your system at full load during power outages for several minutes? If not, then it's powerful enough to allow for a clean shutdown several minutes after a power outage.
