Questions and Answers
Q. I have these specs
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QmWWRk
Is this recommended for this one or do you prefer a higher end UPS ?
A.
The UPS should be able to handle the system.
Any system with a GPU is recommended to use a Smart-UPS because Backup-UPS has more current transfer time, as stated by the manufacturer. This high current transfer time may lead to a shutdown of the system immediately during a power cut. This sudden shutdown may lead to damage of sensitive PC components.
Q. How much back up for 750 watts power supply?
My actual pc load is approx 650 watts.
A.
You should get around 3-5 minutes or more of backup.

Q. The manufacturer site says input connection requires 16A three pin socket. I m a bit confused. in India we have 240/230V AC , would that be needed that much Amp socket under that voltage? I have 6a socket right now and upgrading to 16A socket would be a huge mess, will have to change the whole wiring setup of the home and 4mm wires.
A.
It has an India 3-pin 16A Input Connector which will fit in any standard home socket and will work fine.

A.
Apc 1.5KVA 230V Back-UPS will give almost 3 minutes of backup. Also, it has a current transfer time of 6ms or above which is not good for backup of a high-end gaming PC. The PC may shutdown during a power failure.
For the backup of a high-end gaming system, it is recommended to use a smart UPS which has a current transfer time of 2ms or below.
Q. Will this work with CORSAIR TX 750 WATT, I have i7 with GTX 1080.
A. Yes, it will work with the Corsair TX750.
