No the UPS wont able to power your PC with the current PSU. And that PSU is no good. If you want to buy it keep in mind it might damage your pc under high loads
Maybe a corsair CX 500 it's in tier 3, avoid thermaltake they are overpriced and not that good. But the issue is pcandparts is out of stock on all good PSU's. So either you have to wait or you can buy it from somewhere else.
I'll pass by microcity on Monday and see if they have some affordable quality Tier 3 PSU's.
Its not the PSU, its the total system power. you could have 1500 watts PSU and would work on low end UPS. Matter of fact if you get 1500 watts PSU it will most likely have efficiency of more than 90% that means less than 10% of power is wasted in conversion.

I think at idle the UPS would support your system your system will draw not more than watts at idle.
At load it will be hard, this depends on the quality of the battery, if it is really 650VA, some sketchy brands slab whatever number on these things

I highly doubt they will guide you what tier 3 PSU are. What I advise you is to take the list with you on the phone for example and check what they have in stock and check the list.
That's what I'm planning to do. I'll report back in a couple of days.
Personal Experience:

I do not know why people having a "stereotype" about the Thermaltake PSU that they are "bad" , I am powering my high end system with a Tough Power Fully Modular 80 Plus Gold Certified PSU 850 W with 980sin SLI ; and all the bells and whistles of the other parts including two SSDs in Raid 0 and Two HDD in Raid 0 , two optical Drives, i7 4970 , Asus z97 Board , 5 Fans ( two 20 cm) ... and the system the has been running like a charm since 8 months .. I have the DPS series which has a software that monitors all the voltages and amps , perfect !


I have been building systems since 8 years and I have been using Thermal Take Fans , PSUs, and Cases for 5 consecutive years on my high end systems and NO Failures, Over Heats , Drop in Voltages, Break Down Systems, Damaged Components till now. I am an enthusiast Gamer who know how to invest each penny in a system.

UPDATE: Something came up and I needed a new laptop to get around while I'm abroad this summer. I got got the Lenovo Z510 laptop from pcandparts for 763$ (incl. VAT and shipping). The specs are pretty good actually, i5-4200m (2.5Ghz upto 3.1), 6GB Ram, 1TB HDD + 8GB SSD, Nvidia GTX 740 2GB. So I installed battlefield 4 and it took it like a champ. No lag whatsoever, all medium to high settings, no FPS drop...etc.

I'm now considering download GTA V from steam, but there are several contingencies I have to clear up first:

1) I checked the specs on gamedebate.com and it confirmed that I could run it on medium settings (however, the GPU is my bottleneck)

2) I'm concerned about getting FUPed if I download 60 GB on my free night bandwidth (It would take 2 full nights to download at 6-7 Mbps)

3) If I decide to download the game abroad (much faster speeds), will I face any region locks once I get back?

4) Should I buy it from the Lebanese store for 60$ or use my VPN and get it for 30$ from the brazil store?

And as for the gaming rig, it will have to wait a couple of months, but I'll make sure to pick up some components from over there.
