For peace of mind, I feel like I need a UPS for my new build to do an orderly shutdown when the power blips out. I don't really have $200 budgeted for a refurb APC Smart UPS 1500 like everyone seems to recommend.
My build is in my signature, so would an APC Back-UPS RS 900VA 540W do the trick for what I need? I can get one new for $75. As best I can figure, I'm pulling below 400 watts.
My PSU is active PFC and I read where you might not want to use a UPS with simulated sine wave. I just don't want to buy this, then suffer any power issues during normal use (overloading, lower quality power, etc).
