It is a SATA II connection so you would not benifit form a SATA II to SATA III SSD that much. Now if the SSD was made in the SATA II age upgrading would be a benifit in a way that the new hard drive last longer than ones of 5+ years ago.

Also if it was a HDD and not a SSD in it already then upgrading to a SSD would still benifit you.

If you benchmark your SSD and you are getting 250MB read or so you won't see a huge difference beleive it or not.

1st: Get an SSD. Don't think too much about the model but Samsung 850 EVO outperform most. You most likely run SATA II, but you can bring the new SSD to your next PC if you like. SATA II, might be slower, but most responsiveness is not about mass transfer but about latency and lots of simultaneously small read and write. You cannnot upgrade to Sata III though.

2nd: If you don't have more than 4GB ram, then upgrade! It has two ports, I would prefer just get 1x8, then you can add another 8gb later. Remember if you add two x ram sticks they should always match, so don't mix old with new.

If you don't know what you have, try downloading CPU-Z. It gives you a good overview of your hardwre.
