UPS recommendations home/gaming PC in 2025?

UPS are very simple. for the average* gamer, they would want go get the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD: https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/product/ups/pfc-sinewave/cp1500pfclcd/
but the rule of thumb, no matter what UPS you purchase, the minimum requirement is to make sure it's supported wattage matches or exceeds the wattage of your PSU and all other devices you intend to connect to it.
also, you never connect printers, speakers, amplifiers, etc. to a UPS; well, the surge protect outlets are fine, but not the battery backup.
*average being defined by those that have a gaming PC with a PSU that does not exceed 900w, as there are very few 1500VA UPS that support more. there are a few, which are 2 or 3x the price of the recommended above, that peak at 1050w.
source - me, a guy that's been selling them for 17 years.
