Welcome to TPU!

I'm partial to Cyberpower, and am unsure. I am unable to find enough specs on it. I bet @Bill_Bright could illuminate this matter for you.

However, if it's the 405w I've found, I would hesitate. It might be just enough, depending on how many watts you are drawing. One thing is for sure, at 100% load, it will give you 3.9 minutes of time to shutdown safely, which should be plenty. I don't like to cut it that closely.

Ideally, you want one that has as many watts, or close to it, as your PSU is rated for, just in case.

405w would only run that for like 5 minutes. Maybe 10. If your gaming when the power goes, forget it. So no

Welcome,
Please fill your system specs here! also your location ... its pretty useful for giving links and recommending sites..

your system may consume les than 500W so i highly recommend a 800VA ups or 750VA, that may full cover your 600W psu and complete system,
also i recommend APC ups, those units are great! excellent quality, i do own one for my personal rig, also at my office have another unit both have been running fine for more than 3 years, also the unique thing so far i have done for them is taking dust out with a blower....

TrippLite units are also a great option, they do quality products too lad!

Regards,
