[SOLVED] How much power does my UPS need?

[kanishknishar]

I need to buy a UPS. How much power would it need with my rig?

Rig:

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Z270 Mark II Processor: Intel i7-7700K Graphic Card: ASUS Strix GTX 1070 RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB 2400MHz DDR4 Cooler: Corsair H100i v2 SMPS: Corsair CX650M SSD: Samsung EVO 850 SATA 3 M.II HDD: WD 1TB 7200RPM External Hard Disk: Seagate Backup Plus 4TB ATX Cabinet: Corsair Carbide 400Q Tower Monitor: Dell U2417H

Also connected would be my router.

Would 1000VA do the job? Or is 1500 necessary? Also is it true that you don't want to stress your UPS at 100%?

Since cyberpower isn't available in India, I assume APC Pro (APC UPS Model: BR1000G-IN 1 KVA Battery Backup https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0038ZTZ3W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_FrZMCbZ11HQK1) is my best? The 'stepped sinewave' won't be an issue, right? (The link mentioned is the exact product that I will buy.)

Finally, are there any things to remember when using a UPS?

The difference between 1000VA and 1500VA for most people is runtime. How long must the UPS keep the equipment running? Bigger battery (1500VA) == more runtime.

Get a UPS with a USB port. That way the UPS can signal the PC to shutdown automatically before the battery is depleted.
