uninteruptable power supply that is. Here is my system:

what size should I get to keep the system running for about 10 minutes and then shutdown?
 
I have a 520 watt psu and a APC 350 ups. It seems to work for me, but honestly this brand sux. My dad has had nothing but problems with his and yesterday mine wasnt working at all. You dont have to match watt for watt, but im not sure why. Just get a decent brand and im guessin somewhere in the 500 watt range would be fine.

Nice setup btw.
 
you should have up the CPu a little cuase that 7800gtx card is very demanding.Maybe a x2 4800,But all in all nice looking system.A 600watt would be fine and enough.Iam running a 600watt in mine and gives plenty of power.

He didn't ask for help on his setup. He was looking for a UPS.
