Hello! Every now and then I have power cuts at home, I would like to know whether the following ups of 540W is enough for my gaming rig:

I'm going to buy another 5850 graphics card (i.e. crossfire) in a year or so.

According to "eXtreme Power Supply Calculator" my pc requires 396W at full load.

Thanks!

Sapphire HD 5850 Crossfire
WD Caviar Black Sata III
DVD
Nox coolbay devil edition

I just want 5 minutes to shut everything down

My Corsair PSU has "active PFC", I think the UPS I mentioned does not have a true sinusoidal signal and may not work, right?

The unit that you selected will not work with an active PFC power supply. You are right that the Back-UPS does not out put a sine wave. You need to get yourself a minimum of an APC Smart-UPS 750VA LCD. This is the smallest unit made by APC that out puts a sine wave. This unit is a data center unit, sine wave output, avr boost/drop and excellent surge protection. Give it a try, you'll see how well it works.
