Hello everyone here are my specs.
APU:ryzen 3 3200g
RAM:2x4 (8gb) dual channel
HDD: 1tb 5900rpm (ST1000VM002-1ET162)
MB:asrock-a320m-HDV

The thing is, when i first played GTAV everything was fine, the fps, the textures where great, but now when i drive, suddently the textures dissapear or they load really slowly, i tried uninstalling the game and reinstall it again, and went good but when i turn off my pc and turn it on again, the problem appears
i dont know if it's because of the HDD's rpm, i already checked it and is in optimal health.
i noticed that the disk usage while im driving, spikes to 100%

in july 9th will be my birthday and i'm thinking in buying an SSD, could that fix my problem?
thanks for you'r time

i would start putting all available money towards a lower tiered GTX 1000, RTX 2000, or RX 5000 series graphics card.
or maybe just buy a previous-gen console.
you're using a system that i wouldn't call "game ready".

having a game located on a faster disk can speed up things like startup time, map loading time, and even texture & model load times in-game.
but you are using such low performance components that it may not make much of a difference.
your CPU will still be struggling to create frames and render them all on it's own.

if you're serious about PC gaming;
to start i would be looking for an entry level GPU just to use with your current components until you could...

but i would also start saving ASAP towards a nicer CPU & motherboard, a decent cooling setup, a quality power supply, and a nicer monitor or TV.

if you're just gaming on it because it's available;
i'd put the money towards a console where it'll be cheaper at least getting decent resolutions and decent in-game settings.

its entry, i plan on getting better things later, it's barely new and i have really good frames, i just play gta at 78 fps and league of legends at 180+fps

I had a laptop back then that only could run league at 25 fps, sooo i think its good haha

It will improve loading-time a lot. But for fixing your problem , you should:

1. You should get at least 2x8Gb RAM. 2x4 GB is very very few.

But do not buy additional 2x4 GB, instead of that get 2x8 GB-modules with at leaser 3200 Mhz and cl16.
And your 2x4 GB-moduels, forget about to use it any longer.

2. A discrete GPU would help you,too. But that depends on your budget.

Good luck for you and in advance congratulations to your birthday 🙂 .
