Product: hp dv6-6135dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hey guys, I just want to upgrade my laptop, I got it 7 years ago. I think the HDD is kinda damaged and slow (I've never formatted it), since its usage is about 90-100% most of the time, according to the Task Manager, maybe the OS has to do with this (Windows 10), so I wanna get a SSD, since I've heard good stuff about them, they make machines perform faster. Also, I want to replace my keyboard since some keys are damaged too, I accidentally dropped some water over it (3 months ago after buying it, sad), I want to increase the RAM too, it's 6 GB right now, maybe 8 or 10 would be good. Finally my questions are:

 

+Where can I get these hardware parts (SDD, RAM, Keyboard) for my machine? Amazon? (Can you send me any link?)

+Which would  be the best combination for getting the most out of it? I mean , for example, get a 256GB-SDD, 8GB ram (is it enough RAM?). 

 

NOTES: I'm a mobile developer and use Android Studio, which consumes a lot of RAM and other resources.

 

Thanks guys.
