Answer #4

PSU are sold in Watts mesurement,,,
Answer #5
but this is a UPS (uninterruptable power supply) maybe a 1000VA. But with this calculator, just set the watts for now to get an estimate. Then work from there
Answer #6
Anything around 500W or even a 400W would work fine. A system like that on idle would use around 200W. I don’t think you’d be playing games or etc when the power goes out. You just need it to last around 10 minutes or so till you can properly shut it down

but what about when its not on idle, when i’m playing! this can happen so how much does it uses then?
Answer #8
When you’re playing it would use around close to 400W. Doubt it would get higher than that especially since your PSU is excellent
Answer #9
i don't know how it sold in the rest of the world but in Israel it sold in VA! not W
In the UK it’s Watts not VA….
Answer #10
Isn’t VA the same as W because technically
Voltage x Amperes = Watt
So VA = W
It doesn’t really matter
Answer #11
oh :O
alright then! so you are saying that I need only 500VA?
so I’ll take 600 just in case
