Should I get more SSD or RAM?

[leagueoflegendgt]

I've been getting 100% cpu usage spikes whenever I open multiple programs and feel like my pc is slower than before I had many games coming into my SSD.

SSD- 250gb samsung 850evo 15gb free space on local c and 5 gb free space on local d
RAM- 8gb 2666mhz teamforce

and I'm also wondering which is related with "CPU USAGE"? Do I increase them by adding more ram or is it related with CPU?

Thanks in advance!

Neither of those will likely impact the CPU usage much, but your SSD is too full. You should realistically keep 10% of your drive free: https://www.seagate.com/tech-insights/ssd-over-provisioning-benefits-master-ti/

I would suggest a second/bigger SSD simply because yours is full, you did not state your RAM usage though.

I have 3.18gb physical memory usage with 2 chrome and steam opened. Often gets up to 80-90% when I open up games like Rainbow 6 and etc

If its not 100% then more RAM likely wont help, RAM upgrades only really help when you regularly run out of RAM.

Sometimes I get stutters like framerate skips when I'm in game , specifically "rainbow 6" or any super high quality graphic games. Again, I'm not sure what's causing this. That time my cpu usage goes to 98-100% and memory usage 7.5gb.

GPU - gtx 1060

Whats your processor? Depending on that it could be either the CPU or the RAM (potentially)

an Intel i5 7500 3.4ghz (3.8ghz boost)

That processor shouldnt be having any issues, it could indeed be the RAM or SSD at this point.

At that time when I experienced frame rate skips it had at least 20 gb free on local c and 15 gb free on local d.

my ram is this one - https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/product/delta-rgb-ddr4

*I only have 1 storage , one ssd as a storage.

I would start with more storage then, you really need it. A fuller SSD on its own can cause some issues for a system.
