[SOLVED] Sine wave or modified

[Payntrain]

I’m looking at 2 ups from cyber power for my gaming pc. One is 1500va/900 watt and another is 1000 watt. 900 watt is 160$ and 1000 is on sale for 220. The difference is the more expensive one is sine wave. Is it really that important to have sine wave ? I read into it a bit but that’s a costly difference

What is the make and model of the PSU that's in your build which will eventually draw backup power output by the UPS? I'd go with the non since wave UPS if funds are an issue and if you only need the UPS to power down the system safely. If you plan to have the system running while the power is out, then the sine wave, goes without saying that if you have an expensive audio equipment setup, then the sine wave UPS will be a must to buy.

I’m out of town. It’s an 850 watt which is probably more than it needs but I don’t know the make or model. I have the money for sine wave but it’s a lot more and idk if it’s really worth it.

You need to know the make and model.

But 95% sure you're going to NOT need pure sine.

You do NOT need a pure-sine.
