    Question Is an APC 1100va UPS enough for a 1000w PSU ?

    Hi guys I'm wondering whether my APC 1100 ups be enough for a 1000 or 1050w psu. the expected PC build is: Ryzen 7 7700X(AIO cooled) , RTX 3090 32 GB RAM 2TB NVMe SSD and expecting 4 to 5 case fans. Is a 1000w PSU overkill or not for this build (along with the above UPS question) ?
