Thanks everyone!!
Exactly mate. You are 100% right. Today I was playing crysis 2 (everything maxed out) and there suddenly goes power and my pc turned off!! not even a second to back things up. I went to the shop and explained everything to him, he said he will replace the UPS but my question is will APC 600VA should be enough for my rig? Given the iball UPS which was rated 600VA i.e 360W (40% efficiency)
Need reply by 6 Please guys.
APC 600VA or 800VA??
I dont have money for 800VA so can 60VA hold my rig by atleast 5mins as backup when everything's maxed out??!!

So you are saying 600VA should be enough?!! I will go for 600VA then because I am out of money now. I paid 1700 for iBall and he's ready to exchange with same 600VA with APC. For 800VA he's charging Rs1000 extra. I am At friend's house will be coming at 6. Help me out guys!!

First of all congrats for your purchase mate.
I think 650va from apc might just handle it and give you enough backup. But you can go with any "not so well branded" 1kva ups.
For example, the intex 1kva ups costs 1.8k and gives around 20-25mins back to a similar system as of yours in my place. You can ask forum member cilus about it. His friend bought the i5 2400 +6850 combo and has the above ups.
He's kind of totally satisfied with the backup and they've even tested it rigorously. My brother in pune has a 955be+msi 6850 cyclone+corsair GS600. He's using a champion 1kva ups and gets 15-20mins of backup even during gameplay.
Although these ups's don't match the quality of APC or even NUMERIC,they get the job done easily and the pricing is really awesome. If you cannot spend more, i suggest the intex 1kva ups @ 1.8k. But don't go below 1kva for these brands. They are not as efficient as APC but does a good job at their pricepoint.

+1 for this post.
The not so well branded may well be equally competent unless we see an actual failure of the said brands in question.
Actually i wouldnt suggest you to got for these "not so branded" UPS. Whatever vickybat is saying is not wrong coz my PC was running fine before(955be+msi 6850 cyclone+corsair GS600) with champion 800va UPS, giving just enough backup to safely shutdown in case of a powerdown, but that was when i wasnt playing very high rendering games. My UPS started crying during Assasins Creed brotherhood, exactly the same problem as yours. Shut down instantly without any notice .
Also didnt have any money left to upgrade, thanks to vickybat who made me exceed my Budget by way too much. So the best thing you can do is to go for a iball or champion UPS, minimum 800 VA(only if you dont ahve money) but do not connect your monitor or speakers to that. Just the CPU. Now it works fine for me .The monitor goes blank but hey, i think you can shut down a PC without looking at the monitor . ALT F4 *no of programmes -->windows key> right arrow key >enter.Not sure but i think you can also write a small batch code to shut down ur machine(very simple) and assign it some key combination. it works for me, though i will be upgrading as soon as i get some money in my pocket
