Got a current pc build, I’m looking for advice on making my computer stronger for digital art, animation, video game and content creation (Little to No Gaming).

Ryzen 9 5900x with Asus Tuff Gaming Wi-fi II Mobo
Corsair Vengeance 32GB * 2 @ 3600 MHZ
Asus Strix RTX 3070 8GB GPU
Samsung Evo 850 500GB
Crucial MX500 1TB SSD
Seagate 4TB Hard Drive
Corsair RM1000x PSU

I’m thinking of adding a set of 16GB * 2 or 32GB * 2 ram kit, 6TB – 12TB Hard Drive (Switch 4TB Drive)

I tend to agree with the above. You "could" go with a faster storage option, you "could" go with the one better CPU in the line than what you have for questionable gain, you "could" spend a WHOLE lot of money on a 3090 for (also) questionable gain according to the programs you are using.

Is there something specific the hardware you have is unable to accomplish?

What does not work to your liking?

Before adding more ram check if you are using all the ram you have now.
