It will give you enough time to safely shut down in the event of a power outage or other power issue.

I'm looking at your computer's specs below your post, are those accurate and have you tested the UPS with that computer while gaming or something similar to that in power usage?

Because if it's enough for your computer, should be more than enough for mine.

Yes, my area has rather frequent power outages, sometimes lasting only a couple of minutes. Even while gaming, there is still time to quit and power down safely. It takes less than a minute to do so. You just need your PC and main monitor on backup, the rest of the components can be plugged into the surge suppressor side.

I also have a separate UPS for my cable modem and router. This way, I can continue having internet access for my tablet and laptop during power outages, but, but there is nothing wrong with hooking those up to the same UPS as your computer.
