Hi,
I recently upgraded my psu to gs600 & gpu to hd6750.
Do i need a double battery UPS?
What damage will be done to my pc component since i am using a 700VA UPS?

Hi Gagan, Multiply the voltage (Volts) and current (Amperes) of each piece of equipment (Volt X Amps=VA
requirements); and add up the VA requirements for each device.

Make sure that your UPS has at least as much VA capacity as your
equipment requires. Also, a less capable UPS will just give you less up-time in case of a power outage.

It's not just the VA ratings, but the power input ratings and the quality of components that matter more.

If you're using a 700 VA Luminous or APC or at least a Microtech, you should be OK, IMO.

However ,Frontech, I-Ball, Umax - You better stay away from.
