I have a Dell XPS 8300 and 2 LED monitors. The power specs for the XPS8300 are as follows:
DC Power Supply
Wattage: 460 W
Input Voltage: 115/230 VAC
Input frequency: 50/60 Hz
Output current: 8A/4A
Now I am planning to buy a UPS for battery backup and surge protection. But despite hours of web research and chat with dell support, I am still not sure which UPS to buy. The Dell tech recommended this:

But still I am curious to know what to look for while selecting a UPS. Is more wattage better? Won’t it fry the system?
I am confused. Please help!
Thanks in advance.
