RAM, woudn't hurt to 16gb... or SSD? unsure what storage you're running?

Upgrade your RAM to 16GB and get an SSD. The Crucial MX500 250GB is on sale on Amazon UK atm.

i have a 120gb ssd at the moment? Would an extra 8gb of ram help with gaming?

Yeah it'd definitely help. If you already have an SSD then don't worry about upgrading an SSD.

You would need to get 2133MHz. And I'd advise you to get the exact same RAM you have now as the timings will then be the same.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible because the clock speeds would be different and computers really don't like that.
