can anyone help with this? need to know what size of 1 i may need. dont care so much about how long the battery will last, but more about just being able to shut down properly.

APC BE 750G (450 watts). More than enough with plenty of overhead:

This is the newer version of above, 850VA, same wattage:

I'm using the older APC BE650 for my Windows 10 machine in my sig (390 watts) and it's more than enough.

Yes, that's the upgraded 750 that is now discontinued. Both are about the same price so get the newer one. I hadn't noticed the 750 was more or less discontinued.

I ended up getting this today since they were cheapest.

On my cyber power 1500 I get about a 30 minute runtime. I have already had a couple instances of power outs. Other than a proper backup these things are mandatory pc items.
