UPS Recommendations

Hi,

Just had a power cut, the 3rd in a few days. Thought it was a good time to buy a UPS for the newcomputer and monitors.

PC has has a 5600x and 3080 and I choose a 750w power supply. Monitors are 2 LGs 38gl950 and a smaller secondary model. Don't want the UPS for playing games on if there is a power cut, more to just be an extra measure to protect it if it happens so that I can shut it down safely.

Based on the max draw of the 2 LGs and the power supply you would need an SMX1500

If you factor for typical draw you could use a SMT1500C
