Question Will the UPS be enough?

[epdnz84e]

Hello guys, I have a question about UPS and how much watts does it need. I have a Legrand 480watt UPS an I'm using it for a computer with the following configuration:
CPU: Intel core i9 10900k
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070ti
Motherboard: Asus z490 rog maximus XII Hero
Ram: 32gb ddr4
Cooler: Corsair iCUE h150i
Storage: HDD 7200rpm 1tb, 1tb sata ssd
PSU: Corsair hx1000i
it has a 3 additional rgb fans, the fans on the cpu cooler radiator are also rgb.

PcPartPicker says that the estimated wattage is about 550watt, but I would round it up to 600watt because I also have an elgato streaming card and some fan hubs inside the case.

I have some concerns about the UPS that I'm using. So far my pc has been working fine, but I'm not sure if the UPS is overloaded. The main thing I'm using the UPS for is to avoid electricity fluctuations and as a surge protector, I don't really need the battery functionality.

This being said, here are my questions:
1. Are 480watt ups too little for my computer configuration?
2. If the UPS is permanently plugged in the wall, is 480watt the max it can supply anyway?
3. Would my computer turn off if the UPS wasn't good for my configuration?
4. Is there any risk of damaging my components with the current UPS unit I'm using?
5. I've read online that with low quality UPS, they won't turn off when overloaded, and they will lower the voltage instead. Can this damage my components?
6. If I only want to protect my components and make them last longer, would a surge protector be good enough for my use case?
7. Is a surge protector capable of protecting the computer against power fluctuations the same way as a UPS does?

Thanks to everyone that takes the time to answer

What is the model number and manufacturer of your UPS?

I'd say it's marginal. At a wild guess, I doubt your computer would draw more than 400W from the mains most of the time, but the only way to be sure is to monitor the power requirements with a KillaWatt (or similar) power meter.

With the computer and the monitor connected to the power meter, run a game at maximum intensity (or run a Handbrake video conversion) and measure the power draw. If it's close to the output of the UPS, you need a bigger UPS.

You'll only have a few minutes at full load on that UPS, possibly 5 to 6 minutes, before the battery goes flat. A more powerful UPS with two larger capacity batteries will give you a longer hold up time when the mains fails.

The problem is, a high quality, always-on-line, true sine wave UPS, can cost thousands of dollars. A really cheap UPS can damage your ATX PSU. Take care.
