Question Need a small UPS for my PC, which one of these should I go for?

[TarekElsakka]

I need a small budget friendly UPS for my pc mainly because we have outages pretty often and the voltage was unstable yesterday which resulted in the psu powering itself off for protection. I do have a German-made power strip with surge protection but it’s definitely not enough.

My PC components: cooler master elite v3 600, i7 9700, rtx 2060 super, 32gb of ram. Which of these two should I buy?

Can I go for the cheaper one or do I need the bigger one? And is there a difference between buying a UPS and buying a standalone voltage stabilizer like this? Thanks a lot!

You can get away with the first linked UPC. You will get a longer backup time with the latter UPS but when you upgrade to a larger wattage PSU and more beefier components, that's when the 2200VA UPS will make sense.

I'd also get a better quality PSU, one that you can hold onto for a long period of time.

Thanks a lot for your reply! Yeah, I think I'll go with that UPS. What PSU would you recommend for my PC? I don't think I'll be upgrading the components any time soon but I don't mind replacing the PSU with something more solid, the PC shop that compiled it for me back in like 2020 recommended it so I bought it not thinking much about it.

I don't know much about power supplies to be honest but these are some of the models available locally at the moment that are within my budget (least to most expensive):

Thermaltake Litepower 650W
SilverStone 80 PLUS 230V EU 700W ATX
DEEPCOOL DA700 80 Plus Bronze certified 700W
XPG Pylon 650W 80 Plus Bronze Certified 120mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing Fan
XIGMATEK THOR T750M 750W 80 BRONZE FULL MODULAR
DeepCool DQ650ST 650 Watt 80 Gold Power Supply

Are any of these worth the upgrade? I'm guessing the "Gold' DeepCool one is probably the most sensible upgrade, if any?
