What are the components in your system we can better determine your needs than just with the wattage of the PSU.

spend in the $50-100 range for a wattmeter, plug all the devices you want UPS-ed into a power strip, and plug that into the wattmeter, then run ALL the benchmarks together (cpu benchmark, gpu benchmark, lots of moving things on your screens, pump out some loud music, benchmarks on ALL your storage drives together, and probably some other things i forgot)

 

and while your neighbors are preparing for world war 3 to emerge from your house, look at the wattmeter, that's how much wattage you'll actually need on you UPS :P

 

(note that most UPSes are rated in either VA, or a combination of VA and watts, VA works differently than watts :P)

i'll put it like this: you clearly have plenty of money, get a high power, good quality unit.

 

i'm personally using two APC units that are serving well, maybe their back-ups pro series may be something for you.

That will consume approx 500W more if your doing heavy overclocking but I would either as said recommend an APC unit or this one from Cyberpower. It would be enough for your system including peripherals and networking equipment.

Another thing, what kind of run time were you hoping for?

 

The Eaton 5 series of UPS units are really good as well. I'd go with APC, Eaton, or Cyberpower. I prefer Eaton myself, but they are all good brands. Cyberpower being the best bang for the buck though.

 

Delta also makes great UPS units, but those are kind of hard to find...
