Looking for a UPS for my work PC – up to €150 budget

Discussion

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a UPS for my PC and I'd like to get some advice before buying one.

I mainly use this PC for work (After Effects, Premiere Pro and rendering), so I'd like to protect it primarily from blackouts, power outages and voltage fluctuations.

In case it helps determine the power requirements, here's my PC configuration:

  • CPU: Intel Core i7-14700F
  • GPU: RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB
  • RAM: 32 GB DDR5-5600
  • SSD: WD Black NVMe 1 TB
  • PSU: MSI A750BN 750 W
  • Monitor: [model, if relevant]
  • OS: Windows 11 Pro

I don't need a huge amount of battery runtime. My main goal is that, in case of a power outage, the PC stays on long enough for me to save my work and shut it down properly. I'd also like good protection against voltage fluctuations.

My maximum budget is €150, although I'd prefer to spend less if possible.

At the moment I'm considering the VulTech UPS1000VA-PURE, mainly because it offers pure sine wave output, which I understand can be preferable for modern PCs with active PFC power supplies. However, I'd rather ask people with more experience before buying it and find out whether there's something better, or perhaps cheaper, that would be more suitable for my system.

What would you recommend?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
