Hello friends,
I've recently purchased a new desktop and have a few questions over the power supply and ups for my build.

My buid specs:
CPU: i5 6400
Motherboard: Asus H110-A
RAM: Kingston Hyper X 8GB 2133 mhz
Storage: Western Digital 1tb 7200rpm
GPU: Asus GTX 950 strix OC
Case: Corsair Carbide Spec 02
Monitor: LG led 1080p TN panel monitor 21.5 inch

For the power supply:
Corsair VS 450 - will it be enough? Planning to add few led strips later and get a ssd.

For the ups: Will a 600va ups do it? Planning to connect my cpu and my monitor to it.

Appreciate it if anyone could answer my query-thanks in advance!

The Corsair VS 450 is easily enough for that rig.

As for the UPS, it depends whether you just want it to handle a clean power down during a power outage, or be able to run your rig off it. A 600va unit would do the power down, but probably struggle with running the rig.

There's tons to learn about UPS units, here's a good article on them.
