What should I upgrade this with?

Hi there I own a packard bell ixtreme M5741. I recently got a new computer but have kept this one to use as a secondary PC for browsing the web. However I would still like to have the device be decently powerful, so I am looking for upgrades for it. The only upgrade I have done is installing 2x 4gb DDR3 ram. Here are the default specs:

That system is making heavy use of virtual memory and using a lot of RAM. So if you upgraded to 12GB or 16GB of RAM you'd notice a bit of a difference in performance. Also an SSD would be a great upgrade as well. Of the two upgrades an SSD would be the most impactful.

Def agree with an SSD to make the computer feel silky smooth.
