This should probably get the job done to your satisfaction.

Not sure if it matters on UPS devices, but black friday is just around the corner so it might be worth it to wait a couple of days.

It is on https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00T7BYV6W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for around £72 which seems like a reasonable offer.

Best of luck!

I'm gonna copy my response to another post:

>UPS size is not directly dependant on the PSU wattage, but the draw of the system you want to keep on. Assuming that you need to power your system at peak load, which would be approximately 150W for a mildly OCed 8700K (could be up to 250W at 1.35v) and 250W for the 2080, that gives us 400-500W of total power draw.

>Now, UPS have two ratings, maximum Watt and VA. Max watt is usually around 60% of the max VA rating, so you'd need a 900-1000VA UPS to keep it safe. This would give you more than enough time (5-10 mins) to save your work and shut down your system. It's overkill for just 15-20 seconds but you need a beefy unit due to high tdp components.

>You have to take into account sine waveform too, that's a bit more technical but you just should get a good quality unit since a low quality one with a not so pure sine waveform might not act as intended with your PSU.

The 8600K has a peak power draw of around 150W when heavily OCed (5Ghz @1.4v), and the 1070Ti draws about 175W. That's about 350W when adding the rest of the components, that would give us a rating of around 600VA, so I would go for this one to have a bit of margin.

I have the 950VA model and has saved me a few times now, no problem whatsoever.

I run the 1400VA one in my lab. It's been great.

16 amps for a pc ups?

That device is far more powerful than a PC needs and 10 times the cost unless you intend to run it for long periods in a power cut.
