Hello,
This is my first time building a PC. This PC is built for gaming and daily uses. I will use Windows 7 Proffesional 64 bit.

CPU: AMD FX-8350
CPU Cooler : Cooler Master Hyper 212x
Motherboard: Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600
SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB
HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB
Video Card: Sapphire HD7950 Oc with Boost Vapor-X
Case: Corsair 500R
Power Supply: Corsair HX 650W
Optical Drive: Asus DRW

Questions:
1. Is the 650W power supply enough for this system?
2. Is there any bottleneck or problem?
3. I am going to buy a APC Back-ups 1100VA/660W
Is it enough for my PC and also a 22" inch LED backlight monitor and a 2.1 speaker?
Will the power supply run on stepped approximation of sinewave produced by the UPS?

Thanks.

You can check it yourself. Comes to about 450W providing for additional ram, 2xhdds,1xssds,6xusb devices and 6xfans. I would go as low as 550W only though. If you're overclocking however you need more.

I didn't mean you couldn't get away with less but why risk it? No sense cutting corners on power if you dont have to. Plus it allows some headroom for upgrades.

He might be able to save some $$ getting the 550w instead of the 650w and use it toward something else like getting 16gb of ram. And it does allow for some reasonable upgrades, though not another gpu or anything.
