    RAM+SSD, just received today a 512GB Samsung 850 Pro and 4 8GB memory modules for my gf's mid 2011 iMac, it will make a huge difference.

    Check your model to see how much RAM it can take and max it, add an SSD, if you aren't comfortable with disassembling the iMac (screen, etc) ask a friend that knows or send it to a shop.
