I am buying a UPS and want to make sure that this 600 watt UPS will be enough.
CyberPower CP1000PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS 1000VA 600W https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00429N192/

Will be running my Desktop, and a monitor on the battery. Getting a 1070 but it probably uses less power than my R9 380.

Also I would appreciate any feedback on this UPS if anybody has any experience with it.

Thank you in advance

The CyberPower UPSes are generally pretty good. Way better than APC IMO with their quality and RMA support.

How long do you want the system to be able to run when the power goes out?

We have a bunch of their older 1350va UPSes and have not had a problem with any of them. I also have a 2200VA one in our server room and it hasn't given me any problems either.
 
Thank you for the replies. The UPS only needs to have enough power until I can get my computer shut down.
 
Configure your computer to shutdown pretty quickly, such units will run your wap and modem, switch for days if you don't hammer them too much.
 
I already bought the 600 watt UPS, so far its been great. With CPU stress test load is ~160 watts and GPU stress test load is under 300 watts.
