Personally I would suggest an APC Smart Ups VA ( SUA or SMT ) , then depends how much you want to go on while there's a power cut... 750 to 1500 (with the latter if you want to have power for around 1 hour probably).

With good power supplies , a good ups is required... otherwise the psu gets slowly damaged.

check the wattage and take an UPS with min 20% overhead in power output, and VAs with a larger overhead. for prolonging the delay before shutdown. I.e. for 700W consumer PSU at home I was using 1200VA near-line UPS, and it was fine during 8 years, with 2 maintenance. In the company we have a random UPS setup and management, which I regret a lot.

I have a APC SUA1000XL Smart-UPS for my T7910 and it works fine.  Expensive though - about 800 bucks. But it is more industrial quality.

Because the power supply has active PFC configuration, the UPS must be pure sine wave type or pure sine wave with double conversion... It cannot be approximate sine wave or any type of pure non-sine wave.
