Your system should be fine till 2015 :)
Since there are no recommended speccs for GTA V out yet, i guess you could play it on med-high settings with that rig. Guess the 3gig vram on your gpu could limitate if it comes to high-res-textures or ultra settings. but as long as your resolution doesnt go over 1080p you should be fine.
eventually since the new consoles got 8 core apus, upcoming games will benefit from it and the games will be developed with 8 core support. but thats something only the future can tell

p.s. i also hope for this in the future because i got myself a xeon e3 1231v3 yesterday ;)

I'm pretty sure it will handle GTA V fine.
I'm pretty sure for games, the gpu is the most important by far. The cpu should be ok.
I don't know what your definition of "future proof" is, but your rig looks quite good to me.
