    Upgrading to SSD really improves load times but makes very little difference whilst gaming. RAM on the other hand is a must and you can't have too much, it improves everything. I started with 8g then upgraded to 16g which was a giant improvement and I'm just about to go to 32g
    So short answer is I'd do RAM absolutely and SSD only if I had long load times
