As in £200, i was looking at £60-£70 being a good price but i dont think i can justify spending £200 when i just spent over £1200 on a new pc unfortunatly

Consider that power problems can destroy your £1200 PC and think again.

Oh i get it but you dont know how long i saved for the pc, it would takes months to get the money for a £200 UPS, i have been looking at cheaper manufacturers such as ""Powercool Smart UPS 1200VAPowercool Smart UPS 1200VA" But im not jumping into anything, do you have any opinion on that model? Thats only £70 and seems to be plenty powerful for my PC.

That looks fine. It's line-interactive which is exactly what you need.

And i assume the 44db noise rating is only when the mains power goes out and the batteries kick in? Surely it wouldnt sit blasting that noise out 24/7.......i would guess its silent day to day but then noisy if charging/on battery?
