Could my outlet overload?

At the moment I have a small strip with 2 more sockets on one socket. I have a PC monitor connected to a socket. On the other, I have a 6-compartment bar with a stereo system, a subwoofer, my gaming PC, a blu ray player and 2 monitors. I actually had a 3 compartment bar with a laptop power supply unit, the monitor, which is now on the 2 compartment bar, and a power supply unit for led strips. Now I somehow have the worry that the fuse will fly around my ears if I have a total of 9 devices connected to one socket. Is there a danger there?

There's not only the risk that the fuse blows but the whole house burns down. Just spend a little more money and buy ONE power strip with e.g. 8 or 12 sockets

Shouldn't actually need more than 1500 watts. However, it is best not to plug socket strips one behind the other.

Shouldn't be that bad with the maybe 200 watts of the monitors and the laptop power supply, you should still buy a 9-way power strip.

Incidentally, a fuse does not necessarily blow out in the event of a slight overload, so you should not completely rely on it.

Relatively simple, what protection have 10 or 16 amps? At 10, a maximum of 2300 watts is permitted at 16A to 3680 watts. But this is the upper limit and power strips should be operated with a maximum of only 3/4 of the possible load. Look at the nameplates of your devices how many watts they consume and add the whole thing an overview

Only changes nothing with overload

However, the multiple socket outlets with 8 or 12 sockets are designed for a larger load than the 3-way socket from the 1-euro shop.

That's already clear
