The best answer is to MEASURE your power usage during your heaviest usage. Buy an inexpensive power meter similar to this -- http://www.p3international.com/products/p4400.html
Obviously for your country's power voltage etc.
THEN using that value...

THEN using that value, use the charts at APC's website to get an estimate of size -- https://www.apc.com/products/runtime_for_extendedruntime.cfm?upsfamily=27
Again select the appropriate country.
Good UPS units have a USB port which will signal your PC to automatically shutdown.
