Macbook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2012, Hardware upgrade?

Hi all,

I have a Macbook Pro 13-inch Mid 2012, currently running with:

macOS High Sierra 10.13.3
2.5GHz Intel Core i5 processor
2 x 2GB Memory
500GB Hard drive

I have been thinking of upgrading to an SSD and maybe upgrading the RAM for a while, but now as my Macbook gets slower I think I really need to start doing something about it, I can't afford a new macbook so I am just looking for tips and help on what best RAM and SSD is available for my macbook (and at a reasonable price!) and the best way to go about installing the hardware.

Thanks

It will since it won't be accessing so frequently the HDD (RAM) and if it does it will access the SSD, which is a lot faster than a HDD. This applies to MacBook Pros as well to Windows laptops. So you will buying 2 years and update the OS if you have to no because you want to. New software requires more CPU power, more memory and more disk space (this applies to every piece of hardware - iPhone/Android, MacBooks/Laptops and desktops). I hope you had upgraded your device by now.
