hello guys i have just built a new gaming pc , and i dont want it gets any damage for electricity so in order to ensure that i am in need of a proper UPS , i was thinking to get a 800 VA or 650 VA ups , but when i converted it to wattage it falls short as i have a 530W psu :(
so my system specs are given for proper justification :)
1. i5 4590 3.3 ghz
2. Asus B85M gamer mobo
3 TT smart SE 530w psu moduler
4 4+4 gb ddr3 1333 mhz twinmos ram
5 . Sapphire Dual X r9 270 gpu
6. Samsung LED 18.5 inch 1366x768 monitor
7. Western digital blue 1 tb hdd
8. Transcend TS 128g ssd 370s
thanks guys

I use this for both my gaming rigs which pull ~758W apiece http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LEFYISA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00; I've had no issues and they've been in use for 8 months now. I use this for my TV/Xbox One http://www.amazon.com/CyberPower-CP425SLG-Standby-425VA-Compact/dp/B0030SL08A/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1440413687&sr=1-1&keywords=cyberpower+425w+ups but for your rig I would say this would be plenty since you should only be drawing around 500W max http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LEFYISA?&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00. PSU size doesn't matter; I have 1300W PSUs in my rigs, but I'm not drawing 1300W. You would only need a 530W UPS so to speak if you were drawing 530W. Either way a 1000VA/600W UPS should have you covered.
