HI all,
Thank you all very much for the excellent feedback so far! Below is a list from memory of what is plugged in where. There may be an additional item or two (iphone charger, etc.) in this mess but this is 95% of what I have in this room.
Curious, folks with large collections or proper home arcades, how do you power it all safely?
These are the strips I am using:

Power Strip 3 - main multicade
PC (home built, running nvidia 980)

2 speakers / small sub
Power Strip 4 (plugged directly into an alexa smart power switch, same room though. All of these are set to turn on)

This would be the max POTENTIAL draw if I had folks over:
Strip 4 and all connected, on - likely
Strip 3 main machine, on - likely
Strip 1 and/or Strip 2 one of the consoles being on (they all feed to the main TV so only one console at a time would be on) - rare
Strip Zero - items that could all be turned on (this would be a rarity):
* Xfinity router (always on)
* Vectrex
* LG TV
* XBOX Series X or PS5
* Onkyo receiver
Any help is appreciate as I try and keep my house from burning down
