I currently have an old APC BackUPS pro 500 watt. I recently installed a 700 Watt PSU in a system that worked previously with a 400 watt PSU without an R9 270X. Please, no comments about the build. I just need a new PSU that can do what I need. It will need to power my 3 displays, speakers, and computer without overloading like my current one. There are many options, and I haven't looked for UPS before. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

I bought the CyberPower GX1325U and it was my first UPS purchase. So far I love it and have zero complaints. Got it on sale for $90

What components are you running exactly we can get a better idea of the requirements that will be needed for the power draw of the system. 

 

-Moved to case and power supplies-

Your system wouldn't draw more than say around 400W, so the old unit you have will have no trouble but if you plan on adding more in the future getting a larger unit like or suggested above this is a good option.

The current unit does not work. When I loose power, it shuts off and the "Overload" light comes on. I am not planning on any significant upgrades for a few years. I may get a 1070, or a newer CPU in a year when its more worth the price.
