I am looking to buy a UPS for under $40. And this is what I have in mind CyberPower CP350SLG Standby UPS 350VA 255W Compact

My pc specs are:
intel core i5 4460
evga geforce gtx 950 2gb ftw
550w xfx ts 550w
asrock h97m pro4 micro atx
pny 120gb ssd
wd 1tb hdd
5 case fans
Will this UPS be able to power on my system after a blackout for like 4minutes or less? So I have time to power off my system?

That's a bit hard. Personally I wouldn't drop below a 400w UPS (assuming you are also tossing on a monitor to have power). You may be able to get away with a 330w UPS like this: https://www.amazon.com/CyberPower-CP550SLG-CP550HG-Standby-Compact/dp/B002QAUN2M Same runtime as the 255w model but since it will be at a lesser load it will last longer, if this was my system I would probably get something like this https://www.amazon.com/APC-BR700G-Back-UPS-6-outlet-Uninterruptible/dp/B002RCNX8K or https://www.amazon.com/CyberPower-CP825AVRLCD-Intelligent-825VA-Compact/dp/B001E08PF2 at minimum.
