I'm looking to get a UPS (preferably APC) to run the following system for about 10 mins minimum (enough time to gracefully shutdown or to withstand a 5 min power outage).

I'm unsure of what size UPS I would need for the following system - any ideas?

Threadripper 1950x
64GB memory
3 NVME (970 Evo)
2 SATA SSD
Zotac 1070 mini
1000w Corsair RM series PSU

I've also got a 4K Asus screen - but not sure if this is worth putting on UPS, scripts should automatically handle any shutdown if needed.

Any guidance or recommendations appreciated.

Thanks!
 
IEC is fine, makes sense.

10 minutes of full draw is what I'm after, I'll get something to invoke graceful shutdown after 5 minutes if power has not come back.

Completely agree some of the marketing lingo around UPSs is bonkers - hence the thread! :D

Cheers
