500 would be enough but it's always better to get extra.

Maybe 750

Well your PC uses far less than 500W so 500VA would technically be enough.

You should look at the brand quality and runtime of the UPS.

I thought VA doesn't translate directly to W? @Enderman

No it doesn't but modern UPSes are efficient enough that it's close.

Understood! Do I need a fancy one with a screen? Or should a screenless one be enough? (do mind I have limited access to branded ones since I'm in the Philippines not even close to the capital city)

I would recommend cyberpower, but APC is good to.

Just make sure you get a pure sinewave one.
