Hi!
First of all if this post is in the wrong part of the forum then I would appreciate it if it could be moved to the correct part, I think it would be suitable here but I might have missed a certain sub-forum. If you know a forum that would be more suitable for this question then I am grateful for advice as well.
I currently have:
Asustor AS-5004T NAS
A desktop computer w. i5 4690K / GTX 970 / EVGA Supernova G2 750W PSU
My goal is to have a UPS that will protect the above against power outages (and enough time to perform a "safe" shutdown of the NAS and desktop) and other power fluctuations (brownouts/"dips" etc.).
Now I read (as I understand it) that my NAS can be a "network UPS server" and that I would connect the sole USB-port of the UPS to my NAS and my NAS would then tell my desktop having installed "WinNUT" on it to perform a "safe shutdown":
http://support.asustor.com/index.ph...to-configure-my-pc-as-network-ups-clientslave
Desktop: 220-230W
Monitor: 34W
NAS: 31W
Switch: 6W
= 301W
Now I might want to overclock my desktop (CPU and/or GPU) in the future so lets say a total draw of 400W (unsure how much the power consumption will go up for the CPU/GPU when OC:ing) to be sure.
The thing is I asked about this earlier in a Swedish forum (Sweclockers) and was recommended a UPS with a total of 1200W / VI2000, it seemed a bit steep in regards to my current draw but I don't really know how to calculate how much battery life I would get etc. so it might be correct?
Also I read about that some PSU:s are quite strict about how the UPS "outputs" the sine wave, a UPS I was recommended and thinking about, the PowerWalker VI 2000 LCD seems to be using a modified sine wave and don't know if my PSU (EVGA Supernova G2 750W) would object to that or not?

Very grateful for any and all recommendations and help / TheSwede86
P.S Well as the name implies - I live in Sweden (Europe) so would need something that works here and pref. that is listed as compatible here:
