I know it's hard to determine how many watts our pc uses so I have a lot of questions

The amount of watts is per minute, hour or second?

What the amount of amperes in the socket wall? I know W=VI on DC but I don't know on AC so if my no break is in amperes whats the way to convert?

What kind of no break do I need to keep alive a computer while I am playing for like 5 minutes, including the monitor?

If I have a PS4, a Monitor and a. Pc connected to a no break and suddenly lights go out. How many watts would it draw and in how much time?

Watts is Joules per Second

W=VIcosO where O is the pase angle between the Voltage and Current - for AC

UPS I gather you mean.

Get twice the wattage or VA that your power supply is.

Get enough battery storage - 12V batteries where AH = one hundredth of your power supply wattage eg if 1000W power supply, get 10AH of 12Vbattery storage.

The UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) will draw the same amount of power that the devices connected to it will plus say 100W for its own use.

Yep I mean UPs
so if I buy a lets say 1000W ups and my pc draws let's say 200W( I assume is per second) it will last 5 seconds before it shuts down?
Va is volts amperes right? And to convert it to watts I have to multiple it by 0.6? (I just saw that on a page)
So if I have a Corsair TX750 do I need a 1500W ups?
