Hello, i have a fairly good computer i7-9700k all core over clock 4.6GHz boosts to almost 5GHz, 32 Gb 2666MHz ddr4 and a rtx 2070 8GB ddr6 overclocked card, also water cooled CPU l, and i live in southern Ontario that can have random brown outs in summer and morons crashing into poles in winter, i just had a quick outage in middle of a game.

 

This made me think of getting a ups so i dont screw my 1 yeard old system up,  may i please get some help on what is a good ups and what size i need to last say 15 minutes to power down safely and have a bit of room to keep my wifi/modem online for a bit also.

 

Thanks

That system shouldn't use more than around 450W maxed out,potentially a touch more if overclocked. 

 

Something like this will provide more than enough power for the system, peripherals and networking equipment, providing you around 10 mins of backup.

Thank you very much

I want to say my APC UPS is a 1750VA with true Sine Wave. It has been more than enough for the PC and 3 monitors I have plugged into it. 

 

Now that being said I think paid close to 350 for the dumb thing.

 

Now I am powering a very overclocked machine with lots of fans,storage drives, and water cooling components. My PSU is a Ax1200i and I have seen it record my power usage as high as 800 watts under full stress testing situations.
