Hello everyone again!.

Processor : i5 4590 3.3 Ghz
Motherboard : MSI B85-G43 Gaming
VGA : MSI GTX 1060 Armor 3G OCV1
PSU : Corsair CX 500w
RAM : 8gb 2x4gb Corsair Vengeance Red
HDD : WD Blue 1TB
SSD : King Fast 128gb
DVD : LG RW
Casing : Dazumba Dvito 903
Monitor : LG 22MP67 IPS Cinema Screen : Built-in power / 100-240V

whenever I upgrade something, I'll make sure to get a new UPS, so it's not the issue here Closedeyes

I really don't know anything about buying a UPS... I told the shop owners that I wanted a 600W UPS, so they showed me stuff with 600 VA and said it's the same. However, the specs of the product mentioned something about 300W, which makes things more complicated for me. Here's a link for one of the UPSs I'm offered

so I'm really confused: Are the VA and W identical for UPS hardware?

can it be used for PC and Monitor at the same time??
 
The monitor is simply a means to display the image produced by the PC, it is not related to the UPS at all really.
Here's an explanation on the difference between VA and watts.

Indeed as they say, your system will draw no more than 300w really, so you'll be fine with a 600VA entry level UPS.
The one they've selected is fine.
Typically VA to watt rating is found by multiplying by 0.6, which is what I personally use as a reference point.

[UPDATE] I changed my PSU to Enermax Maxpro 600W , does my 600VA/300W will be enough ?
