Seeking Battery Backup Suggestions
Hello everyone, I'm looking for suggestions for a battery backup to finish off my most recent build, budget is $100-$300. I have never had one before so I'm unfamiliar with what I should be looking for, what's important, what's just fluff on the label to get you to buy, etc. Advice is appreciated! Thank you!
New Build:
CPU- i9-7900X - OC to 4.0 GHz
Mobo- EVGA X299 Dark (LGA 2066)
CPU Cooler- Corsair H100 v2
GPU- 1x Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti
RAM- 32GB GSkill Ripjaws V @ 3200MHz
Hard Drive: Samsung EVO 1TB SSD (I am keeping this as my hard drive from my last build, might add another)
PSU: SeaSonic PRIME Platinum 1200W 80+ Platinum
Battery Backup: ????

Battery UPS ...

There's all sorts of calculators and guidelines and stuff like that online, mostly provided of course by the makers and vendors who sell UPS units.
Some are engineered much better than others, some are cheap garbage. Stick with recognized brands, avoid generic Alibaba products, read a few reviews before spending $$$.
Short version is that it's a competitive and saturated market so products basically price themselves and you basically get exactly what you paid for. Figure out how many Watts your system pulls, multiply by how long you want to run the system off battery, that's the size of the battery (in W⋅h, kW⋅h, etc) you should get. Strictly speaking, a battery backup needs to be able to sustain "peak" power for maybe 5 mins at most, long enough to halt whatever you're doing on the computer and gracefully shut down without risking any hardware damage or data loss, etc ... realistically, you won't want to keep paying ever-inflated prices for more unless you're running a mission-critical server or something.
I would never run a computer without UPS and never recommend anyone else does so. It pays for itself over time, not only as an emergency fallback during sudden power loss events but also as a "power conditioner" which smooths out all those jagged spikes and ripples and noise ... adds to overall stability, reliability, and longevity of all the (expensive) hardware plugged into it downstream.Last edited by Korth; 11-12-2018 at 08:48 PM.

it all comes down to how long you want to have your pc running after the main power drops.
you have those under 1kw and you have those over 1kw.

i have a 3kv (2700W ) but only powering internet router, switch and wifi if my main power drops i would have some internet.
but be shure you have a good 16A power (if in EU) breaker so your breaker will not get triggered when the power gets on again and the UPS starts to recharge up again.
then it will draw extra power since it powers your system and recharging.
but if you need it for safe shut down (saving programs so you dont loose/corrupt it ) i would look at how mutch power your system pulls at max and get a UPS that will last you 3-4 mins maby.
