Higher wattage PSU won't protect from this. And 850W is a complete overkill for an average system...

What you need is an UPS (uninterruptible power supply).

UPS is not meant to power your PC for gaming, it is to give you enough time to save work and shut down safely

If you want to keep gaming with no electricity you would need a generator, UPS is not powerful enough
