UPS recommends this build for you.
What kind of UPS would you suggest for your PC? I don’t want something cheap and bad, nor something too expensive. Just enough to protect against sudden power failures. The options listed include the B650 Tomahawk, Sapphire Nitro+, RX 7800 X3D, G.Skill 32GB, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120, Arctic P12 PWM fans, Corsair 5000D Airflow, Crucial T500 1TB, and Corsair RM750X.
It all hinges on your understanding of what counts as expensive.
The cost really varies based on the power requirements of your machine and how long it needs to operate.
A device capable of handling 30 minutes will cost significantly more than one that manages just 5 minutes.
UPS systems use VA ratings, which are similar to watts but can be confusing to calculate.
It’s probably the lowest VA rating I’d receive would be around 1250, given your machine’s 750-watt power supply.
Technically, you’re unlikely to be using exactly 750 watts, but you should account for fluctuations.
There are numerous UPS models with a 1250VA or higher rating.
The main concern is obtaining a genuine sine wave UPS for a computer.
These are more affordable options that mimic sine waves.
However, non-sine wave UPS can harm power supplies during outages, while true sine wave only functions properly when connected to city power.
Therefore, it’s best to prioritize sine wave if possible; otherwise, a non-sine model may suffice despite the limitations.
I don't have a personal preference, but I can suggest some reliable models or brands based on common recommendations.
I don’t need 30 minutes, I just need something quick—about 5 minutes—to shut off the game or turn off the PC. Any trustworthy brand for a 1500VA would work? Oh, I didn’t notice. I’m in Europe, so I don’t know about websites, but I’ll find something. And the budget is around 200 euros max.
Europe is a continent, and we require a country plus locations that inform us about the available products. Brand and product availability differs depending on the region.
I searched for an example of what would be an optimal choice. This one is above your price range, though. It can handle 780 watts and uses pure sine wave.

There might be other similar options, but I recognize this brand and it’s a bit more affordable than APC, which is also a solid choice.
For people who only read English, you may find it easier to locate alternatives that meet your needs.
You could potentially save some money by choosing a model that isn’t pure sine wave, as long as it delivers at least 750 watts and fits your power supply.
These units should generally last between 5 and 10 minutes.
