I've moved recently to a lovely house on a lake. It is nice, I even get FTTP!

Unfortunately, I get regular power outages when a tree falls and takes out a powerline somewhere locally. I want to buy a UPS for myself. I also don't want to spend a fortune on this.

I want to be able to do the following :

-Power a NAS long enough for it to shutdown safely
-Power my router for as long as possible. When the power goes then even mobile connectivity dies. Is powering a router for several hours feasible/practical?
-Maybe power my main PC for long enough for it to shutdown but I'm more inclined to sacrifice this in order to keep the router up longer

I've seen loads of UPC devices but I really just haven't a clue what I should be looking for.
 
My PC is a mid range gaming PC. I've got a 650W PSU in it and no silly components on it. For example just a Geforce 1660 Super. I've had power cuts before and it has survived the experience. My gut feeling is that surge protection is fine on the main PC. It is the NAS I really want to protect as a power outage can really mess things up there.

I would like to spend under £150. Could I get something that will shutdown the NAS and also power the router for a few hours for that price?
