I'm not technically proficient so please treat me gently but also like a bit of a dunce. Based upon the advice of a few people I know and by doing a lot of research here in these forums, I had a custom gaming computer built late last year. It has been worth every penny I paid for it. However, I live in a neighborhood where the power can be sketchy, particularly during thunderstorm season. Right now, I've got the computer and the monitor plugged into surge protectors. Each one is plugged into a different outlet with nothing else on it. A while ago, my power flashed off and my computer did NOT appreciate it. When I rebooted it, it took me to the BIOS. That scared me a good bit although it seems to be functioning fine now.
Long story short, I think I need a UPS. I've started looking at them but frankly, I'm overwhelmed trying to figure out what would be the best fit for my system. Would you all mind giving me some advice? Here are my system specs:
