Specs:
CPU: i5 2300 @ 2.8 GHZ
GPU: EVGA GTX 1050 2GB SC
RAM: 8GB (1333 MHz DDR3 Non-ECC) , Motherboard only has 2 DIMM slots btw, dual channel I believe.
Storage: 500 GB (5200 rpm I believe) Mechanical HDD
So, best upgrades whilst not breaking the bank? Don't want to swap out the case or Motherboard.
The PC is actually a OEM pc (I believe, a lot of "I believe"). It's a Dell Vostro 260, 300W PC. I'll attach a pdf file containing all specs (skip to page 44/65).
As the PC is an OEM, there's no molex cable to attach anything more powerful than a 1050. So that's a mini problem, but I could get a molex adaptor? I'm not sure, I used to be interested in basic PC shenanigans hence I kinda know this sh** more than the average PC user.
One more thing, I bought the PC on eBay in October 2016 mainly for my studies, REFURBISHED.
I'll most likely respond quickly, unless I'm asleep midday and before 3PM.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Edit: Just realised.... AN SSD? IS it really worth it? You hear PC nerds saying "It's impossible to have a modern pc and not include an SSD".But I'm not a handsy guy. I'm no good with making stuff. I find it hard to assemble an office chair or desk, so I'd prefer to avoid that stuff if possible.
