Just out of curiosity, why are you using a UPS on a normal desktop PC?

Even so the wattage for your components is in the right range I'd say. Although not quite sure what the UPS is referring to..

Why not?

I have a redundant PSU on my computer.

It could quite possibly be that the graphics card is not on full load at the time? Graphic cards tend to use way less power when on idle, so that could be the case, however when the graphics card is on load it can reach quite a high amount

That could be possible depending on your PSU model, although I think the wattage is normal for your graphics card, so it could possibly be your PSU or GPU in that situation

A UPS doesn't need to be larger than the wattage of your PSU but larger than your max wattage from your PC at load and peripherals/networking equipment.

 

i would recommend something from APC since most of the off brand UPS's while decent may not be the best of quality:
