Do you have frequent power loss/fluctuations in your home that would require the use of a UPS?

Uninterruptible power supply, an external power unit to supply constant power if the grid supplying you power is unreliable and susceptible to brown outs. If that is what happens where you are then it would be advised.

I wouldn't bother. Just put that saved money aside for PC upgrades.

Even if the power where you live is more or less reliable, if the building you're in is old (like 60-70+ years) or is of dubious quality construction wise, having a UPS can help clean up the power which can increase the reliability of the hardware in your computer. By reliability, you don't get strange, unexplained behavior.

But if the computer's been working fine otherwise, you don't need one.

A quality surge protector will help.
