Is this UPS good for my system?

[Devileyes]

hello, so i'm going on a holiday in a country that suffers from alot of power shortage.
so im going to be buying a ups over there to protect my system.
my pc specs are :
i7-7700k
gtx1080ti
16 gb ddr4
psu evga 750w g3

so is this ups good?
- https://macrotronics.net/product_info.php/prolink-pvr3000d-auto-voltage-regulator-3kva-p-12667

it has a capacity of 3000VA for only 130$, so is prolink any good as a ups maker?

the country is called lebanon, somy options to buy over there are kind of limited

My Minuteman Pro is over 12 years old. Barring any unforseen adventures like dumping coffee in it, there shouldn't be any reason it wouldn't last a year easily. But being 220v input, weighs a ton, it'd be cheaper if you sell it to someone local before leaving and get a few $ back.

PCE AX-1200 UPS will do since it's within your budget, has true/pure sine wave output and is available locally in Lebanon.

As far as keeping the UPS for yourself after your stay there and if you want to use it in 120V grid, you'll need to buy AVR for your UPS as well. The AVR you linked in your 1st post will do fine since it can convert 120V to 220V for UPS to use.
Though, PCE AX-1200 weight is also reasonable: 9.8 kg. E.g my CyberPower UPS weighs 9.9 kg.

after a week from using this ups, i can confidently say that it's quite good and actually does last quite a while which gives me enough time until backup power is on ..

now i want to look for a simple AVR to plug it in as well.. what kind of avr should i be looking into? thanks

UPS already has AVR in it and what it's AVR does, is that it takes the input, fluctuating voltage e.g 215V-225V and stabilizes it to 220V. Standalone AVR, in the other hand, takes input voltage of 120V and converts it into 220V or vice-versa.

Though, standalone AVR is way too niche of a product and i can't say which AVR to go for.

Also, making a new topic about standalone AVR would give you higher chances for somebody knowledgeable to help you out, rather than continuing it in this topic.

not this one tho, i was checking the specs for this one and it doesn't appear to have an avr built in, this is why maybe it was the cheapest?
so far the ups is great, it last long and it does what its supposed to do.
but i'll be getting an avr as well, the power in this country is worse than i thought so i will need it sooner or later

If you went with PCE AX-1200 UPS then do note that this UPS is online design and it doesn't need AVR since your PC is always running off from UPS'es battery anyways.

I linked the different UPS designs above, but here's a short summary of online design UPS inner workings:

Under normal operation the online UPS is always running off the battery, using its inverter, while the line power runs the battery charger. This design means that there is no transfer time in the event of a power failure. If the power goes out, the inverter (and its load) keeps chugging along and only the battery charger fails. A computer powered by an online UPS responds to a power failure in the same way that a plugged-in laptop PC does: it keeps running without interruption, and all that happens is that the battery starts to run down because there is no line power to charge it.

You may ask yourself, why bother having the secondary power path if you are always running off the battery anyway? The reason is that this provides backup in the event that the inverter fails or stutters due to some sort of internal problem. While unusual, this can happen, and if it does, the unit will switch to the filtered, surge-suppressed line power. Of course, power failures are much more common than inverter failures.
