Genuine question regarding UPS

[Iamnotageek]

Allow me to start off this thread with Eskom your mother.

Now that we have that out of the way.

I have:

1x desktop PC ( 550W PSU + GTX650 etc etc )
1x Vumatel CPE
1x TP-LINK Fibre Router

What I want:

Something that'll run these 3 devices for 2.5 - 3 hrs straight without interruption during load shedding. Gaming, surfing the net etc.

I want something that if there is a power surge of some sorts that it'll protect my stuff. Meaning, I would prefer for the UPS or whatever to absorb the surge and kak off first before my PC or router or whatever blows.

When the power comes back on I want to continue gaming / surfing as if the power never went out. Said unit must obviously also charge then.

What can I get? I dont want to spend millions but I don't want inferior quality crap. Some oke told me a 2000VA or 2KA or whatever UPS should do the trick. I need advice from okes on here that know what they're talking about.

I'm not a fan of messing with electricity while I don't know what I'm doing.

Just want to know if I can use a UPS for that setup for 3 hrs non-stop usage.

Assuming just those items with one LED monitor you could get around with full on gaming using something like this.

That plug will run my setup for 3 hrs straight during load shedding? & it's only R200? Score! Here I was going to fork out a few grand for an inverter. Ha! Those noobs.

Jinne you kak onbeskof ekse. Come to my house, we'll braai some minced meat and you can do my setup for me.

Answer is that it's cheaper to take a pluk than to get a ups for games.

Well as I suggested or if you can give upperlimit to your budget it could be easier to point to best solution for the price.
