I am thinking of getting a new UPS for my system during the current Amazon sale. Got my eyes on an APC 1500 VA PSU since I need to be able to handle a decent amount of load even during things like gaming.

Ref: *amzn.in/d/hbJG54G

But the comments say that this is not very good for gaming PCs.

So can someone please suggest me a good high capacity UPS for this config:

Ryzen 5950x, Radeon 6800xt, two monitors (can have one connected to the UPS), 850w PSU, multiple fans inside the cabby.

Can't suggest an alternative, but this post about the specific UPS model may help.

Good thread. A lot of details were covered that I wasn't even thinking of.

AFAICS, there is no real alternative to APC UPSs which is why I was looking at it. Though I am open to alternatives as well if they are on the same level stats and feature-wise.

I have half a mind to buy the APC Back-UPS Pro BR1500G-IN that I linked above but I am concerned that it might be faulty if bought online. Do you have any personal experience with either this model or similar models in general?

I am still using the same unit. Bought it online (Flipkart) and while it has worked well, had to get the battery changed a couple of times due to frequent power faults. It was a hassle free experience both times , considering the warranty had expired.
Yes, it can be faulty but when I bought it in 2021, local shops did not have it in ready stock. So had to buy it online. You could probably get it offline now.
