So I have an ASUS Zephyrus GA502. It has a 512gb SSD, as well as 16gb of DDR4 ram. I'm looking to upgrade my storage, as I'm nearly out of space. From what I've seen, there is room for an additional SSD in the laptop. I'm pretty new to the world of PC's, so I want to know what to look for when shopping for SSD's. 

Also, I'm curious to know if it's worth upgrading from 16gb of ram. I have the room for another stick of ram, but is it worth the added performance in this instance? I mostly use my laptop for gaming, as well as classwork.

(Here's a link with all the specs, too)

So I'm pretty new to the world of PCs and laptops. I'm going off to college, and I was wondering if a laptop that's oriented towards gamers would perform as well when compared to a laptop that's meant more for the typical person. Specifically, I was looking at the zephyrus ga502 (gaming) and the dell inspiron 4k (non-gaming). I figured that because they're both *relatively* similar prices, than I might as well go for the zephyrus so I can game on it, as well as use it for school work. Does my rationale make sense, or would the zephyrus  be ill-suited for classwork?
