PSU and UPS mismatching

[ExuberantBlockhead]

Building a computer here, I have a 1200 watt PSU, looking at a 1500va 900 watt UPS.

 

Under load, my setup will be drawing about 950 watts, even more after overclocking.

 

Will I have to look for a higher rated UPS (note: next step up is a 2x price increase)  or will I be okay running my computer through this?

Whats your system specs. I dont think you are going to pull 950 watts

 

If you do pull that much power, you need a bigger ups, as if you don't if won't provide backup power as your pulling too much.

pcpartpicker reads 908 watts but the list is not done yet, water pump, 2nd monitor, etc

.........I guess it might be worth it to hop up to $500-600 for the UPS if it will also facilitate my FreeNAS and PfSense router....
