RAM or SSD first?
Long story short, this mac is running the original 2GB of RAM and the stock hard drive. Should I upgrade to 8GB of RAM first or a SSD first?
Is this a good question?

When you do the drive don’t forget your system is only a SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) system so make sure the drive you get is able to run at this speed.
Depending on the size of the drive you get it can get quite expensive. Given the age of your system I wouldn’t put too much into it won’t support macOS Mojave (10.14) so High Sierra is it for this puppy.
Frankly, if you are running El Capitan or newer you should max the memory out to the full 8 MB this system supports before doing the drive.

in this case personally i could do SSD first, its always a joy to have an SSD. yes your RAM is low, but SDD is in MY opinion a priority.
