The best thing you can do is getting a power measure unit, plug it into the wall, then plug a powerstrip into it with all the stuff you'd want connected into the UPS.

Throw your heaviest usage that you can come up with, and check how many watts you consume from the wall. Take that number and add some headroom, and you know how many watts and VA you need for your UPS powerwise.

Then you can always invest in a UPS with more watts for some futureproofing (you will have it for a very long time) in case you'd use it for something else in the future, or just to extend the battery life in case of a blackout.

And then we have the output waveform - a perfect sinewave isn't needed for the computer most of the times if you have a decent PSU, but you can always check with the manufacturer and confirm wether a simulated sinewave is enough.

Also, keep in mind that you can't connect a UPS with a powerstrip, neither a powerstrip before the UPS, nor after it - so make sure it has the necessary outputs for the things you need to connect (in your case the PC, 1 screen, and maybe if you have any external HDD with DC power input).

Don't forget to invest in an Intel Tuning Plan if you're going to overvolt your K/X CPU

Yeah im sure that i'll work even my system im planning to build cant go higher than 700 W. if you aren't sure just pick up the 1350VA / 810 W. like Steffeh said. you will need more power for futureproof.

i have 220v in my home

it is a prablem?

I'm not that experienced with household electricity, but I suppose your home has the same electricity characteristics as most other homes in your country or region, so I don't think you would have to worry about it as long as you buy the UPS within the same country or region.
