A few days back, I purchased a new PC. I ordered all the parts online and assembled them at my home by watching DIY videos on YouTube.
But when I was searching for UPS, I sadly didn’t get any suitable UPS. Then I went to the nearby market and after visiting 3-4 electronic shops, I finally got a new UPS for my system.
Before buying the UPS for my PC, I did research about the wattage that my PC would consume. After calculating the wattage of the processor, monitor, and other devices, I came to know that I would be best to buy a 600-Watt UPS.
Also, I had purchased a 650-Watt power supply unit for future upgrades, on the basis that I would go with this UPS, Foxin 1000VA/600W UPS

Why did I purchase a 600-Watt UPS?
A 600-watt UPS means it can handle this much power. The most powerful and high-power-consuming device in a PC is the graphics card. If you are buying a gaming PC or a PC for editing, then you should check the power wattage, and based on that, you can get a UPS.
I got it for the offline market, and it cost me about Rs 4000($55). You can also go with brands like APC and Cyberpower, as there are
Currently, I don’t have any graphics card in my PC, but in the future, I would buy an RTX 4060 or RTX 5060 that would consume power between 120 watts and 180 watts.
So on based on that, I have prepared my PC for a future upgrade.
I also created a tool where you can calculate the ideal UPS capacity for your PC. You can check it below.
