Advice for a Motion Graphics Animation workstation

Hi, I am in need of advice for building a brand new kickass workstation for motion graphics animations and whatnot. I use After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe Animate, Premiere Pro, Adobe Audition, Cinema 4D + Octane, and a bit of Ableton Live as well.
I'm willing to invest in something that'll last in the years to come, a beast that can handle animation, design, and rendering.

So far this is what I have for the parts:

AMD Threadripper 3970X
Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler
Asus ROG Strix TRX40-E Gaming ATX sTRX4 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 256 GB (8 x 32 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
2x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Samsung 860 Evo 2 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive
RTX 3090 GPU
Fractal Design Define 7 Light ATX Mid Tower Case
be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 1000 W 80+ Platinum Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply

Here's the whole build on pcpartpicker: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7yQQfP



However, I'm quite a noob when it comes to computers and have never built anything on my own. Will this work well? This is future proof-able? What are your thoughts?
Thanks!

The parts look great to me. I see no compatibility issues. Of course that amount of RAM is quite high, only get so much if you know you'll need it. 64 or 128GB is often enough for most work.

Rest looks great! :)

Cheers,
Alex
