It all depends on what your doing on your PC at the time the power goes out. Your power supply can handle up to 760 watts but that doesn't mean that's what it's drawing at all times. So if your PC is at idle (no applications running), then it's probably only using between 100-200 watts (It's all dependant on what hardware and peripherals are connected to your PC). However, even if your PC is under a load (actively running programs), it's likely only consuming 300-500 watts. Which means that in the event of a power outage, the UPS should stay on for at least as few minutes giving you more than enough time to properly turn off your PC.

Hello MasterViper,
Although not recommended, at a full load of 900 watts, the GX1500U unit can support up to 2 minutes of battery run time.  Thank you for your question.
