What would be the best way to upgrade my RAM and storage ?

Hey,

I currently have a 6700k and 16GB of HyperX Fury 2300MHz DDR4 memory. My storage includes 120GB of Samsung 840 EVO SSD and a 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black.

My SSD is used for the OS and some other software such as Chrome, Teamspeak, Discord, Corsair driver software, etc. All of the editing is being done when the footage is on the HD and though I'm away from my PC now, I'm pretty certain my disk cache is on the SSD.

My question is what would be the best way to upgrade my storage, and if needed, RAM also. I thought about getting a second SSD and a second HD (2 to 4 TB, still haven't decided), but I'm not sure what should be the use for each of the drives (SSD for disk cache, active projects, HD for footage and old project files, no idea basically).

So, uh, basically, I have no idea how it should be done and could use some help.
