“Hi, I want to buy this but I do not know if it can provide the Watts I need. My pc uses about 300 to 400 watts during gaming. I see The outlet is rated for 250 watts. Will it provide the needed amount assuming all I have on the apc is the desktop? Thanks”

It is rated at 255 watts. So I recommend getting one that can safely handle your load at the maximum watts you use.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for your inquiry. This UPS would be too small for your computer since it only supports 250 watts. What can happen is the UPS will become overloaded when you start gaming and may even shutdown the PC since the unit is overloaded. I would at least go with something like our BE850M2. You may also want to consider an UPS from our BackUPS Pro line if it is in your budget.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My choice for my PC and 24 inch Monitor was an APC Back-UPS NS1080VA (part Number BN1080G) , which provides up to 650 Watts. However, I do not do gaming, so I am using approx. 120Watts. This gives me approximately 30min of run time after the power goes out. At 335W the APC NS1080 only provides approximately 10 minutes of power. I suggest you look at the APC site - it has a UPC selection tool that indicates that your load and a 1hr minimum runtime, you need a 750VA -1000VA UPS with an additional (external) battery pack.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I do have a 27” Imac, modem, router and I do charge and work on my MacBook Pro simultaneously. I’ve never had a overload issue. If so definitely you would get the beep alert as per manual. So you must be fine I guess.
