Looking for a UPS

Hello,

 

I'm looking to buy a UPS due to frequent power outage in my area
I'm looking to power my network gears (router/switch and modem), desktop, and monitor.

I'm wondering how many VA (is this the right rating?) I need and what companies are reputable (i live in SEAsia)
I'm looking for about 10~20 minutes use without supply. (5 minute is fine too if the price is absurd for 10 minutes)

Desktop Specs:
CPU: i5 - 6600

RAM: 8GB (2x4gb)
GPU: Asus GTX 970 Strix (Overclocked)

Hard Disk: SSD + HDD
Case fans: 7
PSU: Seasonic M12 II Evo Bronze Edition 620W

Monitor: Asus VX239 (1080p IPS)

Networking gears: (i dont know but probably doesnt matter much, its the usual stuff)

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Cyberpower, Eaton, and APC are what I would consider the better units. 

 

How long do you want the UPS to last for? You'll want a UPS capable of delivery like 400w, so it's just a question of how long you want it to last.

Something like this. http://www.newegg.com/Special/ShellShocker.aspx?cm_sp=Homepage_SS-_-P4_42-102-132-_-02162016

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

Just check out APC, Eaton, and Cyberpower to see what units they offer and check the runtime graphs.

A unit like this would work well for your situation and be able to handle all your peripherals and networking equipment:
