It really depends on how long you want the computer to run on the backup power. If you would just like the system to shut down when the power goes out that is plenty. If you want it to run for longer then I would go with a 1500 watt. I have basically the same system as you and have 1500 watts ups's on mine and I can go for almost 30mn depending on what I am doing. If I am gaming then it is closer to 20mn being the video card load on the system.

Yeah, that one is big enough. It looks like it estimates your run time; if you want more, only then would you need a bigger one (unless that one can take an auxilliary battery; probably can't unless you mod it yourself).
