specs look good to me, for Q1: they look ok, i would take 2 ssds (one for os other for workloads) and a harddrive for storage, and would recommend to wait for new GPUs coming out soon. q2: for a UPS its always good to have it,and for your setup about 700VA is ok. best bet https://www.apc.com/shop/uk/en/products/APC-Back-UPS-700VA-230V-AVR-IEC-Sockets/P-BX700UI but if you got power fluctuations a smart ups is better but way more expensive.
