    iMac Late 2015 2.8GHz Mem/SSD Upgrade

    Spent most of my money on this semi-new iMac Late 2015 21.5 inch 2.8GHz. Bought it used, but need to upgrade memory and ssd on tight budget. Which kit do you recommend? I am thinking about a used Samsung 850 Pro 512 I found. Any issues with fans kicking in? What memory would you recommend? Thanks!
