"5K" iMac tells me that it is a 27-inch model. There's an access hatch that will let you add RAM yourself, without having to do major surgery on your Mac.

Macs can be picky about RAM, so I would suggest buying RAM only from Other World Computing (MacSales), or from Crucial. When I checked Crucial's site, they did not have RAM upgrades for your Mac. (It appears to me as though Crucial has decided to stop carrying RAM upgrades for a lot of old Macs.)
