Hi,

I'd like to buy a UPS that'll give 5-10 minutes backup to save my work. I have Corsair CX600 PSU and Dell U2312HM monitor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

After searching a little on google, I'm thinking about buying a home inverter with pure sine wave output instead. What do you guys think?

It wont work for PC,coz the delay is higher in inverter than UPS,hence your PC will shutdown damaging components like HDD and Motherboard.

Pure sine wave is preferred with active pfc. That's what I've gathered from googling. If I do buy the apc ups you mentioned, will it negatively impact the psu?

Nope, not really. Though its not recommended.
But everyone is using such UPS these days.
No one goes with a Pure Sine wave UPS. They are costly.

Every discussion on this topic says otherwise. It's just that I don't want the psu to die on me because of it.
