My computer setup includes an ASUS GTX 960 with 2GB RAM, an Intel i5-6500 processor, 8GB of memory, and both an SSD and an HDD. It comes with a 450-watt power supply unit. Because the system frequently loses power, I bought an UPS last year. However, it would shut down during intense gaming sessions and lights would flicker right away. I've only used the UPS for less than five seconds in total. I recently purchased a Microtek Legend UPS 650, which comes with a two-year warranty on the UPS itself and a one-year warranty on the battery.
Verify the connections: Did you link the battery? They often arrive unplugged. Is the UPS active? With our Cyberpower and APC models, it must be switched on—typically by pressing the power button until it beeps and lights illuminate. Are you connected to battery backup ports? On many systems there are surge-only outlets; anything plugged into them will cut off when power fails.
It seems the UPS doesn't provide clear details, which isn't ideal. I think it might be overlooked for your needs. I'll verify the supported ports on the back, as not all connections are suitable for battery backup or surge protection. If '650' stands for 650VA, it likely corresponds to a 350-390W unit, enough to handle your system for at least ten seconds under load.
It's likely it won't perform well for your needs. It claims to handle 360W, but I'm not sure how accurate that figure is.
