This is my current build, I would say I built if about 3-4 years ago.

I just started to experience problems with it where my PC randomly black screens, Random Freezes, and I just started to play arma 3 life again and I am starting to have random crashes when playing it. I just ordered some more ram yesterday that gets here Friday and I am going to install that and go ahead and clean out my PC of dust and see if that fixes anything.
But right now I am adding 8gb more of ram of the same G.Skill I have. Do you guys think Its time for a GPU upgrade ? and if I do a GPU upgrade should I just grab a new motherboard and CPU while at it aswell ?
Does anyone know how to fix any of the Black screens randomly, random arma 3 crashed I get memory errors aswell as GPU errors. Aswell as random freezes.

Have you ever replaced your thermal paste on your CPU? Sounds like your CPU is running hot.

I have never replaced it or touched the thermal paste. I really haven't done anything to my PC since the day I built it. Only clean out the dust and add new ram that is coming in tomorrow.

Watch your CPU temperature whilst gaming and see if it spikes heavily or sits above 90c or so. If it's running hot which is likely causing the freezing, you'll need to reapply thermal paste or get a new heat sink.
but it sounds like you need to replace your thermal paste.
