[Grudge69]

hi I am about to buy a gaming pc which will have a single monitor(24 inch msi mag241 model) and maybe I'll add my old 20 inch lcd monitor as a second monitor too. the specs of my pc are : 

 

rx 5700xt

ryzen 5 3600

b450 auros elite

16gb ram rgb dual channel 3200Mhz

1tb hdd + 240gb ssd

gigabyte pb700 80 plus bronze

 

I will be connecting my wifi router, pc and my monitor to the UPS.

 

I WANTED TO KNOW HOW MUCH VA UPS I SHOULD BE USING.

 

Please help

Gaming PC's pull too much power to reasonably get any time from a UPS, and you need a pure sinewave UPS as that, so you're probably only going to have the option of the sinewave version of the https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/product/ups/pfc-sinewave/cp1500pfclcd/

 

The sinewave version has the color LCD panel.

Getting good running time from a UPS isn't really the point of a UPS. They also don't need anywhere near 1000w for that system.

Yes, but do you want to kill a UPS to find out it's not big enough?

Put it this way, you can kill a 1300VA UPS when a PC is only pulling 400 watts. Just get the biggest one and if that's not good enough, you're not going to find anything better.
