For that PC you'd need at least a 1000VA (roughly 750-850W) UPS, but stronger would be better.

would you say this is a good ups :https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WkTrxr/cyberpower-ups-cp1350avrlcd

[191x7]

It's only 60% efficient, I wouldn't call that great. Maybe look for more W? People usually buy a UPS equal or stronger than their PSU, but since your System would work fine with a 600-650W PSU the UPS can freely be ~850W.

That one can run for 2 minutes at max load, so I would say not. Cyberpower is also a rather cheap brand.

There is nothing wrong with Cyberpower. I've had excellent luck with them.

I haven't. To each their own, I guess.

Luck has nothing to do with quality thus picking components based on vain superstitions doesn't sounds good at all.

 

I'd go for at least a 1500VA APC for that monster.

 

Also OP 1000W PSU is overkill and the G3 isn't as good as the G2 or a plat rated 850W

I mean. I told him not to go cyberpower off of my personal experiences. That isnt a "vain superstition", that is my experience with them as a company.

 

If I got unlucky in my experience then so be it, but a first impression lasts a life time (hence why I will never recommend MSI, but praise PNY and Asus. Even though I've read plenty of threads saying how shit both companies are.)

 

Also, yes. As you said, a 1000W PSU is total overkill.

sorry, meant to quote both posts but the editor only quoted one

You NEED a _GOOD_ Display Port Cable, not some cheap Amazon Basics shit...

[LukeLinusFanFic]

With that kind of a budget, might as well get a proper 1TB nvme SSD or even a 3.84tb...

 

Don't forget you're going to get MAD import and shipping, about 20-30%

I heard that CyberPower UPSs aren't the greatest, but I have three rackmount 1500VA Cyberpower UPSs, and they are great. I'm not sire if once you get a decent one out of the batch, it will work wonders, or if their rackmount "commercial" UPS's are built to a higher standard to consumer UPS's, but in the heat of the summer, I hear the relays in them bumping the voltage all the time, to ensure i'm getting clean power. I did have a power button on one fail, but they were very quick to get me a replacement. I'd recommend Cyberpower any day of the week, If I'm misinformed, or have had an awkwardly good experience, let me know. My UPS's are loaded to 100-300 watts., and I can get about an hour and a half, to 2 hours of runtime.
