So I just upgraded my CPU and GPU and on certain ocassions during gaming I had BSOD. The memory usage is pretty high going over 90% when playing BF1.

I currently have 2x4 1600 DDR3 RAM and I am thinking - will buying more RAM solve my issue?

Specs - FX8300 + GTX970; 500W PSU; MB Gigabyte 970A-DS3 - AMD 970A rev 3.0

It shouldn't. Please go to the game specifications by searching on Google to see what is the recommended RAM for the game for optimum quality. Also make sure your drivers are up to date. You will get better performance from a SSD if swapping is occurring. You didn't mention the hard drive that could be the problem.
