Ok so im putting up a new system with an existing GTX 460 & Rosewill Stallion 500W PSU. The UPS I have is rated at 360 Watts/6A and the last time I used it with an old system with the same GPU|PSU (6 months back to be precise) the ups was continuously beeping and abruptly dying out (ON load while Gaming - when every component is maxed out) so I had to underclock my GPU to stop that .
The UPS had problems and was repaired recently but with no computer system to test on.
Now with the new system coming up Im worried will the problem recur ?? Will it be able to handle to power requirements or is it not fit to do so.So how exactly does one decide the rating of the required UPS knowing the Power consumed by the Computer system as a whole ??
Technical insight at a fundamental level will be very helpful.
