Looking for a UPS for about 1000W

Hi everyone!

I had an old APC UPS, and it died today so im looking for a new one. However i dont really now the brands in this area, so thats why i would like to ask you guys/girls to help.
Sometimes i have block outs(not that often, but it happens), and i work home a lot of the time, and i lost several high priority works before, thats what i would like to prevent.

What i need/dont need:
I dont want to use my computer for long, after a blackout happens, just want to save my files, and turn off my pc.
I have a preatty beefy pc, so i need a beefy UPS as well, at least a 1000W.

My pc:

MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk

AMD Ryzen 5 5600x
EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3

Kingston Hyperx 16 GB 3200 MHz

Samsung NVME 960 SSD 250 GB
Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 850W 80+ Platinum
4 HDDs
1 Sata SSD
Im planning to buy a Samsung Odussy G9 which would run from the UPS as well.

I looked up some, but i dont know the brand:

From cheap to expensive:

nJoy Horus Plus 2000 2000VA (PWUP-LI200H1-AZ01B)
Kstar Micropower Micro 2000VA LCD (KS-MP2000LCD)

FSP FP 2000VA (PPF12A0800)

APC UPS Easy 2200VA 230V AVR (BVX2200LI)

I live in Hungary, so not a native speaker here, sorry for my English.

Died how?

May be the battery simply needs replacement?

As for brands... IMO you can not go wrong with APC. What you've chosen is not really great though, I'd choose something like SMC1500I (which should be sufficient), or SMC2000I if you want more power.
