Yes, it does matter

You want the UPS to keep on working after you get the video card, and any other items - so you should plan ahead. I assume you want the monitor and speakers to work when the power is out, but you have not specified what they are.

Given the power supply, that computer (without the monitor and speakers) would work fine with a 750 VA UPS (the power supply would never draw more power than that). In the configuration you list, along with stereo speakers and a 24 inch monitor, you could run the system on as little as a 550 VA UPS (but I would not recommend it).

Ideally you would use a unit with at least 800 VA like:

I use the exact same PSU with a APC RS 1100 VA UPS. Voltage fluctuations are common in my area and it works like a charm.

I have a 660ti though, I would say get a good 800 VA because you have much less load.

so can i use the 800 VA UPS without my GPU yet?

Yes, you can. With an APC 800 VA you can use your system, monitor (if it is LCD) and sound system. You can use it with the 750ti too. It should give backup time around 5-7 minutes on medium load with the GPU.

so the safest choice would be 800 VA? any brand would do but it should be 800 VA? what brands would you suggest?

 

[Bluemoon_9]

No any brand will not do. I said a good brand. There are too many Chinese crap out there which can not hold their backups against a strip of LED's.

APC will be my first choice. And the safest choice considering future upgrades will be APC 1100 VA.
