Thanks to all who have replied so far. Appreciate your time.
I personally had bad experiences with mikrotek so I can't recommend
My personal preference is APC, but they're costly. Can you please shed some light on the bad experience you had with Microtek?
Ditch both of them and get a APC one. The model suggested by
@bssunilreddy.
I use a similar model UPS and i can safely run PC (mid range) + 24 inch LCD +40 Inch LED TV + PS4 all at once for quite sometime. So your 850W PC will be easily covered by that.
I have had bad experience with microtek. So would advise you against it.
Thanks for your usage stats. What wattage PSU does your PC have? and have you gamed on the PS4 and PC simultaneously?

They're the same company, considering the price they're the only good option next to microtek.
I was in the same dilemma and didn't want to spend 15k just for a PC ups so i went the inverter route and got a Exide 1450va ups plus a 150ah battery for less than 20k. Also don't get anything below 1500va as that won't help and will just trip from overload whenever there's a power cut.
Oh I did some basic checks on my phone and I could not validate if they were they same company. But upon further browsing from a desktop I too realised its the same brand. Thanks for pointing it out!
I'm in a rented place so home inverter is not an option. Also, want to keep costs low for the time being.
Based on my personal experience getting a home ups would be much more better, longer battery backup, longer warranty on battery while still being useful for your home.
Unless you stay at a rented/temporary place where you're not allowed to install one or if you follow a nomadic lifestyle due to personal or professional reasons you should definitely go for home ups.
Also your PC power usage won't be so high as the power supply rating, I used to run a 5900x+rtx 3090 with a asus thor psu and the power draw displayed was around 64-128w during idle and at max I have seen it go around 450-500w.

Thanks for sharing your usage. I struggle to understand this but, e,g. Nvidia says a 3090 needs an 850W PSU but actual draw from the wall is just 500W for your 3090 based system , I have seen multiple sources that cite stuff in this line. However, online tools (like the one on the APC site) do not align to this logic but, they actually say that wattage should be equal or great than your appliances rated value, yes they do want you to buy higher-end products but idk.. Perhaps some electrical professional who does this for a living can help clear things out.
