I am strongly considering purchasing a UPS to help protect my investments. I have narrowed my options down to PFCLCD models from CyberPower but I'm not sure of what wattage I would require.
The PFCLCD line offers 1000va 600w, 1350va 810w and 1500va 900w units, priced at 135, 172 and 205USD respectively. The manual for these models state that my draw should be no more than 80% of the units rated wattage. With that in mind, I would like to have the following plugged into it...
Battery/Surge
--AX750 powering a Z77XUD5H, 3570K, 2x4GB RAM, 3 HDs, 2 SSDs, 1 Optical, 2 HD6850-tier cards, USB keyboard/mouse and 6-8 fans. [psuCALC puts this at 550-640 watts depending on clocks. I don't bench however so I'm not sure how those figures pertain to me.]
--One LCD monitor that claims in its specs a maximum wattage of 55.
--One modem.
--One router.
--One additional HDD in an external enclosure. [It's a WD Caviar "green" though that likely makes no appreciable difference.]
Surge
**These items do not need to be connected to the UPS. If it's more economical to connect these to their own surge strip, then that's what I'll do.
--One receiver rated at 75w/channel, powering two bookshelf speakers. Volume never exceeds 40%.
--One 400w rated subwoofer. Volume set to 15%.
--PS3
Thanks and sorry for using you guys for info again. I've been spending all my free time the past few weeks going over every minute detail of the new setup and my brain is starting to melt as a result.
Also, if you use a UPS for your rig I'd love to know what wattage unit you're using, what you have connected to it and, should it display such info, what that draws during use.
