PFC PS and UPS matching

Hello,
I have a question regarding power supply. My model is VX550W.
I want to buy a UPS unit and heard that some UPS models (the affordable ones) generating a simulated sine wave which can damage sophisticated PFC PS unit (such as my Corsair :-) ). The pure sine wave UPS models costs much more.
My question is, can I use the simulated sine wave UPS for this PS safely or do I have to spend much more money and go for the pure sine wave UPS models?

10x.

The pure sine wave UPS is 99.9% good. Personally i use a simulated sine wave UPS for a long time without any problem.

We have seen no problems using a simulated sine wave UPS with any of our PSUs.
