Good UPS?

I'm looking for a decent UPS that won't overload when running Topaz Video. I have an AMD 7900 XTX GPU and if I run Topaz with my Cyber Cower CP1000AVRLCVDa, the ups screams like a banshee and shuts down. In my research the explanation is that the UPS is underpowered.

It seems like a 2000 VA and true sine wave is a good option, but I'm not looking to shell out over $1,000. I found one within reason (CP2000PFCRM2U), but when I cross referenced the specs, it requires a special outlet.

I live in an area where we're prone to brown outs/momentary power interruptions, so a UPS is critical. I'm not looking to run my computer for a long period of tie, but to be able to run Topaz under normal conditions without my UPS freaking out and have a few minutes to save an exit a game if and when we fully lose power.
