^ At a peak, your system would not be using 390W. Hence UPS will take care of your rig. Though I would suggest 800VA UPS/750VA.

^^ you see, thats why I suggested the VX450 with APC 650VA. If you have the money, then only buy VX550+APC 800VA.

Well first of all post your other rig components, then we can suggest you better/best.

As a 650VA UPS delivers maximum 390W of load, in worst conditions we shouldn't make UPS to be on full load all the times. Using at 80% load is ideal.

Read it thoroughly

Also let say you upgrade some part after a year or so, would you like to upgrade your UPS too. ;)
 
@paapi: post your system specs.

APC is not a perfect UPS and hence doesnt love to be loaded in its 80%-100% of rated output (390W).

My friend blew his Tagan BZ600 Modular 80+ SMPS (worth 6.5k) because of his APC 650 UPS.

His system spec:

Q6600

Asus P5ne sli

XFX 8800GT AD XXX edition 512

2-3 HDDs

4-5 Fans

Hence my suggestion would be APC 800VA.

PS: i cant afford a APC 800 and dont really need one anyways, so im not using a UPS at all :p Its atleast better than risking my VX450, which loves Clean AC as input only (which is nearly delivered by SineWave UPS and not other UPS, which cost even more :S )
 
@ sumchamp nd sato1986: thanx guys i got it now...its really gr8 support frm u guys:hap2:....i'll post ma rig 2day itself as m still working on it

*btw what is the price of APC 800va

thanx alot...:)
 
U never asked "which PSU to buy for xyz graphics card" Go with VX450 then. Its good for a GTX 260 as well. APC 650VA wud be enough.

I used microtek 800VA with 4850, 3 hdd, over clocked Q6600 gaming 5-6 hours everyday, no issues. Microtek 800VA = APC 650VA LMAO! Get 800VA if u want to, more is kinda future proof.
