What are you looking for the UPS to do? Usually the bigger USP's are just going to give you more uptime before they have to shut down the PC.

I need the uptime at least 5 mins.

I would start around this threshhold, if you want 5+ minutes of time under load. A step under this will provide you 4-6 minutes.

APC is a fairly well-known name in the UPS industry. That's what my IT department usually uses.

Keep in mind, the batteries degrade over time, so it doesn't hurt to have a little extra juice. You need to replace the batteries every few years if you really want it to be optimal in the even you actually lose power.

The Output Power Capacity shows 600w but i have a 860w psu. How will it suffice?

It doesn't matter what PSU you got. Your system won't draw more than 500W at full load; the total power draw from your very efficient PSU won't exceed 550W. Besides you'll probably stop playing or running benchmarks when a power outage occurs.

What he said. With your system, you will draw 500ish around full load. 800 W PSU won't draw 800 W. That UPS should give you 5+ minutes
