Seeing as you alr have quite slow last-gen ram, ryzen build might not actually be great for u. But highly rec you just get new ram.

Ryzen 2600 or 2600x would be great, and get urself a cheap 1tb SATA ssd off newegg.

I would suggest at least DDR4-3000 or 3200 as Ryzen benefits from faster RAM speed. 16GB is the recommended amount for newer games.

Best to bump up your OS ssd to 256gb or 512gb at least. Use those 2x 128gb either as spare ssd or as external hdd via an enclosure.
