When i try to play Arma 3 a little window pops up saying that I am low on memory.

I have 8gb ram, which the computer ackowledges is there. It closes the game by itself.. without my permission.

I would be incredibly grateful if anyone could help me out with this problem... My old pc with 8gb of ram never had this problem so i'm confused a bit..

P.S. http://failiem.lv/g/sclrdkc#aa/problem.jpg - Link to the picture of the message that pops up, when i'm runnin ANY kind of game...

If your still running an old copy of windows ( xp, vista , 2000 ) it could be your virtual memory page file size. Windows 32 bit is designed to use only 4GB so it may not have increased the page to a proper size and you may have to do it manually.

Intel i5 4690K
GTX 770 Asus 2gb GDDR5
MSI H97 motherboard
RAM 8GB 1600Mhz DDr3 Kignston Hyper X
Desktop HDD 2TB sata3 Seagate 64MB 7200rpm
SSD 120GB kingston SDNow300 Sata3 NCQ
........... This should not show up in any case
I'm running a windows 7 ultimate 64bit version.

+ C and D disks are pretty much empty, so that's TOTALY not the problem, and the RAM shows up, so it's installed... i have no idea what to do, it showed up in Arma3 only, now the same with planetside 2, CSGO etc. Help me please...

Yup, everything starting with videocard to the windows itself is updated to the latest stable version. Checked twice all of that. + It was all pre-installed, i ordered the parts put it together and the company i bought it from tested it fully and held it for about 3 days for testing.

Fixed.

It was quite simple when i actually realized that my virtual memory was going on my C disk instead of D which has 2tb, while the C one hasn't got alot of memory.

For people who also have this problem:
Control panel < System < Advanced system settings < Advanced < Performance < Settings < Advanced < Virtual memory < change.

To be honest, I just google searched this problem, where they changed the max usable ram for any program, and noticed that it was going on C. :p But thanks for trying to help <3

You mean you googled the page size ( which I suggest you change manually ) and notice your pc was loading it to a drive which you said earlier " + C and D disks are pretty much empty, so that's TOTALY not the problem, and the RAM shows up, so it's installed... i have no idea what to do, it showed up in Arma3 only, now the same with planetside 2, CSGO etc. Help me please... " , yet it actually was the problem?

Good job man!!
