RAM upgrading

I'm thinking of upgrading my RAM as I love my PC gaming, but are there any other reasons I should be upgrading my RAM? Google is only giving me tutorials and small tidbits of information.  My friend also uses my computer alot for his artwork/college stuff,

I need as much information on RAM as possible, thanks
