UPS Recommendation for PC Desktop

[keny1st]

Hi guys, can anyone recommend me a UPS for my desktop? The purpose is to prevent any direct electric cutdown, if can, hope the PSU can send shutdown packet directly to the desktop to force shutdown.
PSU: 1200W FSP
CPU: 5950X
GPU 3080ti
Thankssss.

APC is the brand to go for but sadly limited models to choose from and the older models which are more affordable are slowly phrasing out and hard to find now.

ProLink Pro series is an alternative if you can't find a compatible APC.

Most important thing is find a model that you can replace your own batteries.

a suitable APC model should cost you above $500 to $700 with that power range, I remembered someone got his for over $700 (mid range APC model).

depends on your usage and appliances total power consumption, I am sure you wouldn't just plug in your PC only right? I use it for my routers, ONT, NUCs, NAS, ext HDD (connected to 2 UPSes) as well so you'll have to take into account of those sensitive equipments you intend to protect.

When UPS is overloaded, it will not cut off power directly but will gives out a irritating warning siren.

Better to allocate more VA for future peripheral expansions than to scrimp and find out you run out of choices.

If budget is a constraint the APC Easy series is cheaper (budget end) but it doesn't seems to be able to replace batteries (please research)

Based on Amazon.sg, this is your baseline https://www.amazon.sg/dp/B07WJ4ZRWM/ref=twister_B08XZQN727?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1, I am not sure how much power your 3080ti going to suck at full perf hence better to allocate more than less.

I did a research for 3080ti, The RTX 3080 Ti has a TGP or Total Graphics Power of 350 Watts

in that case you can go with this cheaper model https://www.amazon.sg/dp/B07WJ3DT24/ref=twister_B08XZQN727?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 if you intend to connect your PC to the UPS only but take note rated wattage only 540 if your setup spike more than that your UPS will produce a audible warning tone but it will still continue to function.
