hi dears,
I am using corssair cx430 watt PSU with hd6700 gpu.
I hav V guard UPS of 600VA/360Watt output.
I also connected creative 5.1 speaker system to my UPS.

Now the problem is , when the power off(or when voltage down) the UPS will off in 2 or 3 seconds.
I think its battery is weak now.
Is it good for me to replace that battery or buy a new UPS with more watt as output.
Is this 600VA is sufficient to run 430 watt corssair.

If not please suggest me a good UPS for this PSU.
I only need 5 or 10 minutes backup.

That power supply will pull about 550w from your UPS when running full-tilt.

Add your monitor and whatever else you intend to connect and then you have your wattage requirement.

Realistically, a 600w UPS should work for you if you don't have a power-hungry vacuum-tube monitor or something crazy.
