May I ask what's your UPS? Because I don't know good UPS brands, or could you tell me some? Could you also tell me if the Power Supply (PSU) gives watts to the monitor? Or what gives power to the monitor then?

What would be the difference between a 600W UPS and a 700W UPS? The time it'll give me to shutdown?

No, I meant an UPS, so if there's a power outage I could have time to shutdown the computer.

But you've put a 620W (and from Antec) Power Supply, that won't be enough if he's planning to SLI.

Hmm... Alright! However you could get an i5-3350P (3.1GHz, quad-core) and an ASRock B75 Pro3, and no aftermarket cooler since you won't overclock... And you could get the R9 270, but it'd be $750 and not $700... If you could spend $50 more, that'd be a good option in my opinion. Or if you cannot...

It has an i5-4670K (Haswell! It's the 4th gen!), a Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H (four RAM slots and 32GB max), G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (It's 2x8GB, which is Dual Channel and will give you a better perfomance), Toshiba Q Series 256GB 2.5" SSD (so you move the OS and games there, and your system...

Do you need a monitor? Do you need an OS? Which parts do you already have? With $1,500 you can build a very very decent computer.

May I ask why do you need a SSD?

Get the Corsair PSU... Unless you find any SeaSonic or XFX power supply within your budget with 500-600W. Corsair is a good brand as well. About overclocking, if you'll do it I'd recommend you to get a 'Z' motherboard then. System Usage: Gaming... Hmm... And you're going to use the Intel...

OK, if I'd want an UPS (which is highly needed, right?), how much 'W' would the UPS need? Which brands would you recommend me? Thanks!

Good luck building it!

Meh, your choice. But if you'd buy a desktop you'd have much better specs.

Maybe

I don't know if it is the prices in the UK because I'm Spanish and I use euro (€), but I think with that money you could get a better GPU. You'd better get a GTX 760, HD 7870 or R9 270X.
