I've got a tower system that I use for basic browsing, finance, music and pictures (no hi-performance gaming), and I my house has started to have occasional power outages (since my kids have moved back in), so I want to get a UPS to protect my system. I know this question has been asked a lot, and I've sifted through the forums/posts and looked at calculators, but am still not sure what size is most advisable. My nature is to go for overkill, but I can't really afford too much overkill at the moment, so I want to get this fairly right. My humble computer specs are below, and I'm hoping someone can help to steer me in the right direction.
Also, I've seen refurbished UPSs on the web (e.g., at www.upsforless.com), and they advertise newly replaced batteries, completely tested UPS. Are these ok, or would it be best to steer clear of a refurbished UPS?
My system's specs:
- Tower system
o AMD FX-4100 quad core (3.60 GHz)
o 4gb RAM
o Integrated graphics
o Win7 64-bit
- 24in LCD monitor
- Powered speakers (Klipsch) with subwoofer
- Network printer
- Wireless router
- Cable modem
Thanks!
