VAs were important before power supplies started having active power factor correction. Now, you need to be more mindful of the power (Watt) rating.

A stock 4790K + GTX970 would use around 300W. Add 40W for power supply losses, 60W for the main display and maybe 50W more for accessories, you get about 450W total. Since you probably do not want to run the UPS close to 100% load if power cuts out while gaming and you may want to have some headroom for other stuff like your modem and router, you probably want to aim for 600W or so.

After that, the next thing to be mindful of is how long you want the UPS to power your system when power goes out since that will dictate how large the batteries will need to be and might force you to buy a much bigger unit.
