2nd PCSpecialist order incoming... advice needed. 10 monitors?

Hi all,
Firstly, thanks in advance for any advice that you may give me.
Secondly, about two years ago I purchased the below. This forum was great as you guys checked the specs of my initial order and made some recommendations which I took on-board regarding a solid state drive. I love how fast this thing is.
As you can see, I currently have a TRIPLE monitor set up.
What I would like to order is a set up that has TEN monitors.
I am happy with the speed and functionality of my current set up. I just need to transform it from THREE to TEN monitors. However, if this means I need more juice (i'm not a computer expert by any means) then will happily purchase too.
Please can you tell me what I would need to make this happen? I don't want to get into a debate about why I want ten monitors. I just want ten monitors - mostly because of the matrix screen saver on ten monitors would be awesome and the PC is the center pace of my man cave in my new house lol.
Budget is pretty flexible. Say, an additional couple of thousand?
Any help much appreciated. Current PC set-up pic attached.

We love you Ukraine
What would you be using the 10 monitor setup for? Is that budget just for the pc upgrades or for monitors as well?

Hi thanks for the reply.
As I mentioned, I don't want to get into a debate about why I want 10 monitors. I don't need 10 monitors, I just want 10 monitors. However, as you ask, I will use for streaming youtube, live sport, Excel, Word and listening to music. Very basic needs.
Flexible budget and this will include buying additional monitors.
Thanks.

What sort of setup are you looking at with the monitors? How are you looking to split them/use them? Will it be a matrix of 2 rows with 5 columns? How many different displays do you wish to have at once?

There are a ton of configuration options from very simple to very complex. Your eyes may water at an individual 10 monitor setup though.

Great question.
The space I have room for is 2 rows x 5 columns.
24" per monitor.
Thanks.

If gaming definitely isn't on the cards then it can be done on a fairly modest budget. As soon as you put anything taxing through them it'll be different though.

I would probably go down the route of dual GPUs (Low end is fine for your usage) and a USB3.0 dock with multiple output.

With your current spec you would need an upgraded motherboard, a second GEFORCE GTX 960 (assuming it is capable of 4 outputs) and a USB3.0 Docking station. This should all be manageable inside your budget with absolute ease.
