Hi guys,
I have the following PC:
-AMD FX-6300
-Msi 1050 2gb gaming
-Msi gaming motherboard 990FXA
-8gb RAM
-Enermax Thorex
What should I upgrade? I am on a tight budget but just want suggestions for the next item in my PC to upgrade.

Whatever your budget is, then do some research on the product and look at some websites with some SSD reviews.
Ideally 120 is the smallest you should install.
Windows 10 = 32GB
Plus then all the other stuff that gets installed, so personally 250GB
I use a 250GB and I do have 80GB spare, and all I have installed is Software - no games.
What happens is games like to save on the main drive, even when installed of another drive. My game saves take up about 20GB.

Save until you can afford the 1060 6GB. Anything else wouldn't offer any appreciable performance increase.

Wait one. Which PSU do you have?

The only upgrade you can do is Intel i5/7 3/4/5/6 series that still use DDR 3 - which would have to be a second hand board, but you would notice a little improvement.
If you just want your computer running like new - buy an SSD. best upgrade you can do for any computer/laptop that's running a bit slow.

What's a good size for SSD, like 120GB?

whats your budget? that is the biggest factor in deciding size.

for instance, you can pick up a 250gb crucial mx500 for about $75
