APC 1500 Smart UPS. It should give you about 30 minutes of usage. It's cheap. If you want hours of gameplay from an UPS then you need a lot of money or get a diesel generator.

Your PC needs ~350 watt. Let's say you need 10 min to save everything and shut the system down save.

-> You need a >60 Wh USP with a minimum peak power of 350W.

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil

I can definitely vouch for the APC UPS's they work excellent. I personally use a 1300VA smart UPS with no problems but at full load they don't last long for your system it should last about 20 mins with a 1300VA. There are larger batteries that they sell which can allow you extend up-time during a power outage.

For smaller or lower costs ones you can get theses which are also good, but they don't last as long during battery backup. Another good brand is Cyberpower which are usually a little bit lower costs than APC's UPS.
