PC Peripherals UPS suggestion

Was using APC SUA1000I earlier but it conked out long back. Recent local repairs didn't do it any good either. As of right now a measly Microtek unit is working as a stop-gap measure but unable to take the load of all devices so have to keep some connected directly to the mains supply and its backup is also non-existent. So need a UPS that can give power backup to some of the devices and work as a surge protector for all. Listing the devices here;
  1. Airtel Nokia ONT Router
  2. TP-Link 4-port Switch
  3. Raspberry Pi 4B+
  4. WD 2.5inch HDD on a Seagate External HDD dock
  5. CP Plus DVR Unit
  6. CCTV Power Supply for 4 camera units
Other devices will be hooked up to the unit but won't require power backup as they'll be switched off immediately in case of an outage.
  • Mi 32" LED TV
  • XBOX Series S
  • SMSL AD-18
  • Custom desktop with 320W PSU rarely used
So first and foremost question is, looking at the load and requirement, does UPS even makes sense and if it does then what power rating and brand should I be looking at ?
 
Why not get same APC ups again? Also, it doesn't matter whether the connected device will be turned off immediately because at the time of power cut all connected devices count towards load requirement.
 
So the Desktop has been dismantled. Items listed in the original post from 1 to 6 are still the always-ON load whilst the TV, Amp and, console are sometimes on so need suggestion for a UPS accordingly.
 
I would recommend getting the Cyberpower UT2200e if your budget is low. If you can extend it, get any online UPS above 2KVA. Those should cost around 25 to 30K.
 
I can vouch for eaton ups 1000VA(around 5k). Ups Battery doesn't last more than 2 years. Numeric ups is owned by Legrand. If budget permits, I suggest to get inverter(ups mode)of 1400-1600VA(around 6k) & get tubular battery of 150Ah(around 13k). That way you can also save home from powercuts.
