Hi,

I just my new system up and running and need a decent UPS under $100. If it works for 10 mins thats more than enough for me.

My PSU is RM 750x

not sure if I need to provide the other components but here it is.

i7 7700k
gtx 1080 ti
MSI z270 SLI Plus
16gb
LG 4k Monitor 27"
1 SSD
2 HDD


Thanks

Can't recommend anything below $100

If you are consuming more than the output of the UPS and the power fails, it will cause an overload. Check the "Watts", not the VA output of the UPS.

Example: APC BE650G ~$100. 650VA, 390W

BTW. You are trying to protect a system worth beyond $1,500. If you have power issues make sure you are protecting your investment the right way.

Go for an 750W or better UPS with a companion software.
