You can upgrade RAM to the maximum your model will support. That would be:
Maximum Memory 16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple) Memory Slots 2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
OS X Mavericks- About Activity Monitor
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.
