I'm worried that any electrical peak can burn some of my PC's components, so I want to use a UPS, but how can I know if the one I have is enough to provide enough power for my PC?
The UPS I have right now is the APC Back-up 300, it's kinda old but it works, at least to protect the PC from high voltages. This is the link to their website: https://www.apc.com/shop/my/en/products/APC-BACK-UPS-300VA-230V-UPS/P-BK300MI?isCurrentSite=true
I read that it's output is 180W. I guess that means that if my PC is consuming more than 180W, which it is, the UPS isn't going to provide enough wattage for the PC to run?
I'm asking all of this just to be sure not to buy another one if the one I have is enough for the job.
These are my PC's specs, at least the relevant ones for my question:
CPU: i7 6700k (overclocked to 4.4 gHz)
CPU cooler: Corsair h100i GTX
Mobo: Asus Maximus VIII Hero
GPU: Asus GTX 1080 FE
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX (4x8gb) at 2933 mHz
PSU: Thermaltake DPS G 1050W
Thank you everyone for reading my post and helping.
