I want to pick up a UPS for my system. There's a APC BX-800 UPS on sale at a nearby store, it says it's rated for 540 watts / 800 VA.
Will it be sufficient for my system? See sig for details, but basically 3 hard drives, a dvd burner, 21 inch monitor, x800xt vid card, p4 2.4c eating up power off a 550w power supply.
I don't really care about how much time I can run without any power, it doesn't take very long to shut down cleanly. I just want to make sure that the UPS won't be underpowering things connected to it.
