^^ Apc is your best bet. Complete peace of mind. Nzxt phantom is my personal choice. Though you can settle for a cheaper cabinet like cm 690.

@ Ishu

I guess you mean p8p67 instead of p8p69?

^^ I am telling you, you wont regret buying an APC UPS. Way better than any cheap UPS in the market and if you feel there is no frequent power cut in your city, try some el-cheapo like Microtek, INTEX. IMO Intex cr@p is better than any other crappy brands.

Now, its your take.

APC is highly recommended. They design their UPS in such a way that you can add a liquid car battery in series with the bundled battery to give you a longer back up time, if required.
Also 1.1 kva will give you around 750Wh of power, which is clearly a overkill for your 720W PSU.

NOTE: What I mean by 750Wh power is the maximum rated output your UPS will be able to provide if you connect it with a liquid battery.

^ P8P67 is 11k as quoted on SMC. B3 version should also be the same. And you may get the same board for 500 rupees lesser if you get from a local dealer, hopefully.
