UPS recommendations home/gaming PC in 2025?

I run my internet gear off a separate CyberPower pure sine UPS, just the ONT, router, and a small switch.

I actually ended up doing this because the brief transfer delay on my main UPS was driving me crazy during online gaming. Every time the power flickered, the UPS would switch over fast enough for the PC to stay on, but my ONT would still reboot. That meant the internet would drop for a few minutes, and it always seemed to happen at the worst possible moments when I was in online matches or playing browser based casino games. I’d get kicked out instantly and lose any unsaved progress.

At one point I was even reading casino reviews on sites like https://somagyarkaszinok.com hoping to find something that either wasn’t so dependent on a constant connection or at least saved your session better, but it turned out pretty much all of them are still heavily tied to being online, so even a split second interruption was enough to kill the game.

Turned out the ONT power brick was just really sensitive to that split second switchover. I fixed it by putting the ONT on a small DC mini UPS instead, while leaving the router and switch on the main UPS. Since then the internet stays up even during short outages and voltage dips.

For a main gaming PC though, I’d still definitely go 1500VA pure sine like everyone is recommending here.

You must have really stable power where you are? My power rarely goes out for long periods but it's becoming more frequent to have momentary dips that don't turn off house appliances but are enough to trigger my UPS relay so i hear the click inside. It's the only way I'd know something irregular just happened with my power. It's things like that where I'm thankful I have a UPS.

Realistically I rarely have power outages either but this stuff costs enough that it feels like it is the minimum level of protection.
 
Not sure if you are still looking at getting one Lysrin but there is a decent deal right now at Best Buy for this Cyberpower model: https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/cyberpower-1500va-ups-battery-backup-gx1500u-fc/14538697. 70$ off, so 230 instead of 300.

Been looking at getting one for a while now too and been watching the prices for a few months on the 1500va models. This is the cheapest I've seen for a 1500va model and this one is one of the newer model with the sinewave... not that sinewave matters that much but it is currently cheaper than the non sinewave model (model which is a tier under).

There are two version of that unit I believe, the 900w and the 1kw. This one is the 900kw. While gaming with my 5070ti/7800x3d rig and ultrawide 1440p monitor plugged in, it's not even showing half load.
 
My UPS battery is going. I was so damn annoyed. In my mind I was thinking “I just bought this thing. What a crappy UPS. The battery didn’t last very long!”

Checked my receipt. I bought it almost 6 years ago. 😂

Not bad.
