Under-1,000 VA units cover a modem, router, NAS and a laptop dock, or one office PC with a single monitor. Most are standby designs with a simulated sine wave and no voltage regulation, which is fine for those loads. Add up the wattage of everything on the battery outlets first: these units are rated 255 to 800 W, and a gaming PC will not fit.
