Best old macbook?

I

iMore Question

I bought a macbook on ebay thinking it was a1181 2009. It was 2007. I'm a novelist and wanted to run office 365 on it, but it is so sloooooow! I spent 100 bucks on it. Now I don't know if I should try to spend more to add RAM (it has 2) or a ssd (another 60 bucks) or bite the bullet and buy a newer one. I only have about 200 to spend, so I'm limited.
Sigh
Any recommendations?
