How much are you exactly looking to spend on one? There is a pretty big range in terms of how long you want it to be able to run.

How long does a good one run on average? 30 minutes?

Most of the ones under 400$ will probably get you around 20 minutes up to an hour at most, and that is just based on your desktop, not including monitors etc.

I've got this, it holds my 3080 and 12900k long enough to save my game/work and safely shut down. I have two monitors but only hook one up to the battery. I don't know a ton about UPSs but I do know to look for one with a SineWave system.

 

It would be a good system for your setup, you could probably go a little cheaper depending on your goals. Personally I would only look for something to hold your computer over 5-10 minutes unless you need extended uptime for some reason. Save your work, shut down.

 

If you're in the US wait for Black Friday/Cyber Monday coming up. UPSs can get stupid discounts.
