I wouldn't use an UPS that relies on a single 12V battery to power my main PC. I'd go with something that has a 24V pack like an APC BR1000G which would be good for ~600W.

350-360W can be a little tight for a relatively high-end gaming system after including PSU losses.

Beeping as in some the UPS' warning/notification beep or some other internal electronic noise?

A 600VA is good for ~350W output. Your whole rig plus PSU losses and whatever else may be plugged into the UPS (such as the monitor) may be exceeding the UPS' rating and the reason it is beeping at you is to tell you that it cannot sustain the current load if a power outage occurs.

pc is the only one connecting to the ups. Is the ups is enough for my build? When I notice the beeps I instantly stop gaming and wait for 5 seconds beeping din't stop. So I check the psu plug to the ups and the beeping stops

Your system can go up to (rough estimation) 450-480W, if you do not OC the proc and GPU at all.
650VA UPS is not exactly enough, I would say, it is the very lower minimum rating for your PC...well..it depends on the power factor of your PC.
That is why it beeps only after a few hours. It is in the low low limit.
I would buy at least 850VA UPS for your system.
