The decision to purchase and use a UPS is usually driven by a desire to protect against data loss/corruption. Not so much to protect against hardware failure, the general consensus being that replacing hardware is easy and cheap whereas recovering/loosing data can be very, very expensive.

AMD Ryzen 7 2700 (8-Core, 16 threads)
Radeon HD 6570/7570/8550 / R5 230

Sounds like you have some reasonable quality power there, a surge protector would be good.
If you do want a UPS though, it's worth getting a pure sine wave UPS. Cheaper ones put out a "modified sine wave" (which is actually more of a mutant square wave but the marketing department won't tell you that) and this can do wonders to modern electronics.
Battery Backup for desktop machines is de rigueur here in the lightning capitol of North America.
Most of the outages are very short (as in under 10 seconds) but in the summer ones long enough to reboot a computer can happen several times a week. And there are usually a couple longer ones every year. Very long ones when tropical storms or hurricanes blow through, but even typical thunderstorms can down tree branches on power lines and interrupt power for an hour or so.
