Hello, I'd like to know what ranges of UPS's would be appropriated for this system:

Case: Antec Twelve Hundred
CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K 3.4GHz (might overclock to around 4.5GHz)
Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H70
Mobo: Asus Maximus IV Extreme REV 3.0
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 2133MHz 8GB DDR3
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 6990 4GB GDDR5 (might pull the overclock switch)
HDD: OS - OCZ Vertex 3 SSD 120GB /// DATA - Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB 7200RPM SATA III 6GB/s
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1200W
Screen: Samsung XL2370 LED 23" 1920 x 1080

I've already searched for many UPS's yet I'm not sure which one would be the most recommendable, like, the VA rating, the wattage, the output voltage, etc. I don't know if the wattage should be equal/superior to the computer's maximum power usage and how much VA rating it should have for a machine with these specifications. I don't care much if the battery lasts too long, as long it gives me enough time to close all the unsaved games and applications, so I guess that around 5 minutes (system at 90% load) should be fine. Any output power intervals (VA rating and wattage) and brands + models of UPS's are greatly welcomed. I'm hoping that a decent UPS for a system like this won't go above $200.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Vatanan.

You might have answered your own question. When I don't know what to decide on parts I look for the best one I can afford without wasting money on too much overkill. I believe they are all good for power surges, Lightning struck near our house and blew out our tv but the $35 surge power strip saved our pc. All the major brands will be similar to the other major brands. They like to keep up with their competition.

The VA rating is usually a lot higher than the Watts, and is due to things like power factors, etc...
I would suggest at least a 800 Watt or 1000 Watt UPS if you want to keep the system up for several minutes. It's just not the battery life (5 min), but it has to be 5 min. at the rated load. I suspect your real load is in the 500W-750W range (in computer terms), meaning you should have about a 800Watt UPS (in my opinion only...)
