Hello everyone, I have a little budget for an upgrade for my PC and now I got one of 2 choices...
So my PC does not have any SSD but it's running off a 120 MB/s read/write speed HDD, So the 2 choices are:
1- Upgrade RAM from 8 GB to 16 GB
2- Buy a 240 GB SSD
Both these upgrades are the same price where I live, so what do you guys recommend me to get that will help me in heavy gaming?
PC specs:
-i5 4590
-8 GB RAM Dual channel DDR3 1600 MHz
-XFX Radeon RX 570 4 GB
 
Solution
I'd go for the SSD although i did recently buy some 16GB ddr3 very cheap from ebay and it works well

The SSD won't improve framerate but is much nicer to use a PC with one

due to the age of pc- DDR3 is not worth buying as its discontinued, second hand for very cheap would be my option. SSD you can use in a newer pc. most likely the newer pc wont use ddr3 so not worth the upgrade.
