I have never felt a need for a UPS on my personal PC. I do use a surge protector though.

In my work I frequently istall computers and UPS's for controling building systems, because some HVAC or Lighting controls need to funtion during emergencies.

But if your just using your PC for games and homework its overkill. If a WinX PC crashes you might lose unsaved material youre working on at the time, but it almost never causes a problem beyond that.
