For the average gamer and user? 

 

I am currently building my PC with:

 

AMD Ryzen 5 3600

16 GB Crucial Ball. 2666 MHz 

B450M MSI gaming edition motherboard

GTX 970 

500 GB Samsung evo SSD+ 1 TB HHD

 

My upgrades are either 1) 16 to 32 GB of RAM or 2) upgrade the Samsung SSD to an m.2 SSD and get rid of the HDD

Core i7 2700K Oc'ed 4.4 Ghz, EVGA GTX 970 ACX 2.0 SC'ed, 16 GB DDR3 RAM, 240 GB Intel 730 SSD and 2 TB 7200 RPM HDD, Zalman Z9 plus case with 7 blue LED fans, Windows 10 Preview

None!
SSD wont make any noticable improvement, neither will the added RAM.
Want more performance get a new graphics card.
You could also waste money on trying to get faster RAM, but i doubt you'd even notice that difference.

But seriously both RAM and SSD will make it 0% faster. I can asure you.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
I'm just helping YOU to help YOURSELF!
(The more info you give the easier it is for others to help you out!)

Not willing to capitulate to the ignorance of the masses!
