Hello, I wanted to buy this build for work and not for gaming (that's why the low gpu), however I also wanted to buy a UPS to avoid having another component damaged by unexpected power loss or loosing/corruption of work files.

 

I would like if someone with more knowledge could suggest me a reliable UPS for this pc (under €100), or slightly more expensive if needed, to buy maybe on Black Friday/sales hoping for a cheaper price. Thanks!

Usually you get a UPS rated 1.5 times the PSU rating.

So 650w will do. The more the better.

APC makes some good units but I don't think I can list model numbers of what I have since you need a different electrical outlet. You don't need something super powerful since the system won't be drawing that much power even under load.

Gotcha! Will do, thanks a lot!

Look at APC. I’ve owned both APC and Cyberpower. APC has been good to me. My Cyberpower unit died once under warranty and gave up the ghost after the warranty expired. My APC unit required a new battery after 3 years. Not to bad. 
 

Specifically I’d look for a line interactive unit if you can. They will help smooth power to your devices. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Thanks a bunch! I will get an APC for sure.
