Help on buying a UPS

I am looking to buy a ups for my system whose specs u can see in my pc specs. Recently i am really having a bad experience with electricity due to unscheduled loadshedding due to which I risk blowing my 100k system, therefore I am looking to buy a ups that can provide me enough backup to properly shutdown my pc. I dont plan to game on it.
I dont have any experience in ups so any suggestion on which ups I should go for. I am also very tight on budget.

Well i suggest you go and find yourself an APC 1500XL ups hook it up to two 150 amp dry batteries and your problems will be solved you will get atleast 1 and a half hour back which will save you from your loadshedding woes

Out of my budget bro, will mercury elite 1000va be enough to provide a short backup of say 10 min. I dont need 1 hour or so backup

Yes they are good for short time backup but when its battery life is over like 1-2 years depending upon charge cycles , one is unable to find original battery . Only Chinese copy available which will last 1-2 months

mercury elite is a waste of money IMO 11k for 10 min backup dont bother with lesser brands believe me APC is the best for delicate electronics
if you cannot afford atm then save up for it.

if you dont want long backup time get the UPS Smart 1000 and a pair of 100 amp dry batteries spend just once on something that will work well for you
