UPS: Pure sine-wave needed?

[JustPyro]

Hi, after having some power flickers from wind storms, my PC (on a surge protector) handled a couple flickers without incident. But last night, my PC lost power, and booting it back on, things are... not good.

Long story short: I need/want a UPS. I have done my searches and found recommendations for

Then I started reading about Pure Sine wave UPSes ('s?) essessses? for Active PFC PSUs

I read just a couple posts saying their computers with active PFC work fine on non-pure sine wave UPS's. Is the general consensus that it's not worth bothering over?

That one isn't a whole lot more. Thoughts?

Thanks!

It varies depending on the PSU and the UPS, but generally speaking, most PSUs should work fine with simulated sine wave UPSes.

Doesn't really matter for most modern PSUs.

That said, pure sine output devices are getting more affordable. I have 2 of these, different VA ratings:
