Hello everyone,
I have ordered the parts for my new computer, but I overlooked an important component: a UPS. I spent a lot of money on this computer, so I would like to have it protected. I recently moved into a new house and there are infrequent, short brownouts and lots of thunderstorms. My old rig has survived on a surge protector, vigilantly unplugged during thunderstorms, but it has taken a few hits over the years from blackouts. The parts are arriving soon, so I am asking here for advice hoping someone knowledgeable can give me a quick reply. I won't have enough time to research and order without significant delay to the whole project. I will provide as many details as I can:
Total system wattage according to PCPP: 78W-309W (plus two monitors)
Time needed: Just a couple minutes to power everything down in case of a blackout
Outlets needed: At least 3 on battery backup and surge protection
Budget: $125CAD
System specs:
Ryzen 5 1600 3.2Ghz 6-Core Processor (will be overclocking)
Asrock AB350 Pro4 ATX AM4 Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws V Series16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
ADATA Ultimate SU800 512GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Mini Video Card
Phanteks ECLIPSE P400S TEMPERED GLASS ATX Mid Tower Case
EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
LG E2360V-PN 23.0" 1920x1080 Monitor
BenQ GW2765HT 27.0" 2560x1440 60Hz Monitor
If any more details are needed please ask. I am heading out to work in about 30 minutes, but I will be back later tonight. Thanks in advance for your help!
