My pc is starting to get sluggish with Chrome and other programs, what should I do?

(Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this but)

I've been noticing major slowdowns and lagging/freezing while watching YouTube or when booting into Windows 10 and I don't know how to fix this. Is this a CPU problem? Or should I get more ram? Or would an SSD be best? I regularly have Steam, Spotify, Chrome, and Discord open and sometimes I edit video and record games. My specs are:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Eight core Ram: 16gb GPU: GTX 1650 Super OC HDD:WD 2 1tb

I'd recommend getting a 500GB ssd for windows and most used programs/games.
