Go with SSD. I played games for a long time with regular HD and when I moved to SSD it was a Night/Day difference. Going from 4gb to 8gb or 16gb of memory would be good but given the choice I'd pick SSD first.

given it is only 4GB at the moment, 8 would be a massive improvement, and would stop you accessing the page file, which may be the cause of the slow downs. And SSD would not help here, it would help with loading, but not much else.

Tomb raider does not run well with only 4gb of ram 8gb will be a massive improvement over your current status.

Rise Of the Tomb Raider can be a very demanding game on systems, especially if you crank up the graphics settings and resolution. It's actually one of the most demanding games out there now.

More memory will make a difference, 8 GB is better than 4 GB, you MB will take 16 GB of memory.

Correct, it may improve loading times of assets within a 'level' which may cause a slow down, but you are short of ram.
