Yep, should do just fine 

Yes that should be sufficient for your build and peripherals and the TV but my be a little close. Your system shouldn't draw from than 800W at max load. 

The purpose of a UPS is to let you save your files and properly turn off your computer in the event of a black out. It's not there to let you to continue to use your computer. Depending on the number of computers you have, more computers means each one will have minimum amount of time until the battery in the ups runs out.
e.g. 1 computer, you have 30 minutes to save your files and properly shutdown until ups battery drains out.
10 computers, then each computer will only have 5 minutes.
According to their site, it says 50% load (450w) for 10 minutes.

Want to continue to use your stuffs in the event of a black out, then you'll need a power generator not a UPS.

You're absolutely right. I'm planning to use the UPS as intended - to gracefully save/ shutdown at a moments notice. Can't risk losing my pr0n library to an outage.

That's like 10 pros off. No way it'll work!

This is going to get a little real. I am looking to hear what strangers have to say. Maybe someone will find this helpful as I need advice, myself.
 
 
Background:
My dad was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic caner sometime in January. My mom (and I) didn't know and June when he lost control of his body and collapsed. My mom took him to the hospital where they told her about his cancer and that he doesn't have a lot of time left. Since I don't live with them anymore, she called me a couple days later letting me know what happened. Fast forward to now. My dad has outpatient hospice care and my mom and I are making him as comfortable as possible.
 
Question:
My dad and I are good. But we have never said "I love you", hugged, or showed any of that type of emotion to each other. But before he goes, I want to thank him for giving up his American dream so I can live mine (he's an immigrant and I am first generation). I want him to know how much I care, look up to him, and love him. But I just don't know how to just do it. Thinking about it makes me very upset and nervous to my stomach. Any advice and suggestions would be helpful. 

As Benji_w said, "Don't exhaust yourself in being strong, just... let yourself be free with your emotions".
 
To be honest, I really hope you can find the emotional energy to deliver the message yourself, but if you can't and that would be entirely understandable, just know that your words have reached him.
 
I will also pray that you and your mother will be okay and that the journey to healing and living again will be achievable for you.

best of luck.
 
if you feel like it, tell your dad his story reached the other side of the globe, and some random dude wishes him the best for the little while he has left.

It won't take that long to write, trust me. If you need anything feel free to drop me a PM. 

I am reading and internalizing everything you guys are saying. I sincerely appreciate everything this community has done for me - especially tonight.
 
I am going to write up and polish it tomorrow. And I will do my best to read it to him by Monday.

Even if you can't, do it anyway, there are lots of things I wish I would have said to my dad. The regret of not speaking to him myself before hand pain me to this day. There is no shame in displaying your emotions, you're human, he will understand.
 
Don't exhaust yourself in being strong, just... let yourself be free with your emotions.

The stuff you're saying to us, say to him. It'll be awkward and stuff It's fine.

I'm sorry to hear about your father. Hopefully you will be able to have a still mind and reflect a little on what kind of person he's taught you to be, and let that come through in your final good-bye. If it were I who were dying, I think I'd wish for people to quickly say their piece (unless it was just already understood) so we could spend the rest of the time not being incapacitated from the inevitable. I'm sure your father knows you love him and you could just tell him "I love you" and be done with that part.
 
I hope you find peace and mindfulness.

amen, speak the truth.. i am extremely tired after 20 years..

It's been 10 years and I still break down every now and then...

Just be sure to say I love you, and acknowledge all that he's done for you.
Tell him what a great guy he is
Really sorry man, hope you get through this terrible time

may be a tad crude to say now already, but its inevitable.
 
prepare for the funeral, it's gonna be hard.
my grandma had a non-religious funeral, which is usually much more direct than the "traditional" catholic funeral (which i'm guessing is similar to other religions)
 
at some point, even one of the workers of the building we did the funeral at (she does these daily) broke down and had to pop aside for a bit.
its hard to let people go, but its even worse when those people are very loved, and came to go early. the person that had to pop aside never seen my grandma, never heard her name before the day. but if you have a room filled with people of all ages, genders and ethnic groups together to mourn over their loss its heartbreaking.
 
i'm sure it wont be any different for your dad, and it wont be any more easy.
 
a few months later it was november 1st, which is our national day for the memorial of those we lost.
my grandma was cremated, so the grave was very small. there was no room for flowers anywhere near the grave, even people of sides of the family that couldnt be less alike were there, together.
 
 
its amazing how a person thats not there anymore can still mean so much, and in some way, they're never "really" gone.
(this is now about two years ago, and i'm almost breaking in tears typing this. for as long as i'll be around, my grandma will never really be gone.)

I been able to keep my emotions in check since I've been him with my parents for the past 1.5 months. But today/ tonight was mentally and emotionally torturous for some reason. And to be honest, after reading all of your posts, I just broke.
 
I think I'll prepare a letter. I'll let my mom have a copy in case I don't sack up to read it to him. I think my mom would know when will be the right time to give it to him. But I will try my hardest to just do it before it comes to that.
 
Thank you all for your thoughts. I has really eased my mind and given me a lot of ideas on how to approach this.

Tell him you love him for everything he's done for you, through thick and through thin, all out or all in, he's provided and cared for you since the day you were born. 
 
@trama09

Sorry for your father.
 
But just say thank you father. Thank you for raising me the best your could, thank you for giving life, thank for giving me a roof over my head. etc.
 
Talk about the good times you had with him. Maybe even get him a tasty meal or something that he loves.

That's really depressing dude, my advice is to write everything you want to say and go read it out loud to him.
