it is not recommended to use your system on ups battery alone for long time.. just use it to save your work and then shut down.
you are fine with apc 600va. if possible get apc 1100va. it would be helpful if you add a powerful gpu later.

APC 600VA is enough for your RIG.

600va should provide enough time to backup if your cpu is not in overclocked state which is available at 2.3k. since you have a k series cpu and likely to overclock later, i suggest to get apc 1100va ups which is available at 5.3k. ask in any local shops. buying such heavy items online is not recommended and will cost much higher sipping charges.

600VA -800VA is enough for your RIG even in OC'ed mode.If you are planning to use any higher end GPU then APC 1100VA UPS is required.OK.
