Worth getting a UPS?

[Dubesta11]

I was thinking about picking up a UPS for my gaming desktop. It has an i7-6700k overclocked to 4.8Ghz at around 1.33 volts and a GTX 1060 at 2.1GHz. Other than that, I run SSDs, a WD green HDD, and 5 fans. What UPS size would be sufficient for this computer?

depends, does your power go out often?

Not that I know of, I recently moved into an Apartment and need to work on dealing with all my cables for my computers (about 8). I felt it would be a good idea to get one for the computer, but I might just get one for my router and get decent power strips for the computer.

you are aware of that a UPS will add even more cables and not help with the cables at all?

 

if you power doesnt go out a number of times where it would matter you dont need to spend money on an UPS, not for your computer and also not for your router.

If the power fails so hard that more than just your building is effected the chances are rather high your router will not be able to connect even if it has power.
