I guess you just answered your question , and your problem is all about your HDD, please check and let us know if your Windows OS is 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64)?
It's a Windows 7 64-bit. So should I buy a new ssd? My pc says by the way there's 8gb of RAM installed but 3,96gb available. Why is that?
Ummm I’m not sure but I think your gpu is using your RAM as extending your vram, so the more you playing game the more RAM you’ll need, which you don’t have!
My Conclusion : one of these may resolving your problem
1. Increasing your physical RAM
2. Changing your HDD SATA cable
3. Checking if your HDD physically damaged or not.
I checked if my HDD has been damaged by using cristaldiskinfo and it gives a warning by C5 Current Pending Sectors. Is this the problem? Do I have to increase my physical RAM by just buying more RAM or are there settings in Windows?

well it's sorta little more complicated than that, I mean you should change your HDD, you should change your HDD SATA cable, and you should increase your physical RAM and maybe you should buy new PSU as well! so let's do the free things you can do, check here

Ok, so I did a hard disk check and that chkdsk thing but that warning is still there. I also changed my SATA cable but it had no effect. I really don't want to buy more ddr3 RAM (soon I want to upgrade everything) so is it going to be a new storage component?

Hello, so I was think about your first solution and about the fact that only 3,96 gb was available. So I tried changing the ram sticks in the ram slots and it did eventually work. So the problem was that the ram sticks were not in the right ram slots. Thank you so much for your help and effort. I've learnt so much. I'll come back if I have another problem
