We can't really tell GTA 5 requirements yet but this setup is fairly weak. Those games you described would be choking especially due to that 2 core CPU. They might run but would have avg over 30FPS is a real unknown, my guess is no.

As far as we know
that GTA 5 will require dx11 and 4gb ram
your rig is fine but cannot say about the CPU
and also you don't have the TI version of gtx 750
so you might be able to run it with low-med settings

Most likely low settings as well, this CPU will heavily limit performance in games even for that GPU.

CPU dependent games would suffer FPS loss but graphics dependent games would be fine with your rig

For a build this low end, go for AMD. Also, do you need an OS? Lets be honest, you'll be playing nothing on high at $400.

You'll be able to run Metro on low/med if you get a good oc on the gpu. Here are benchmarks for the 260x. If you OC your gpu you should get similar results. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1044

Most games are GPU dependent to a certain degree, but there are limits and that's a weak CPU. You can build an entry-level gaming build, but given your requirements, I fear you would be very unhappy with the results.

bro please see this he has a cpu similar to me and graph lower than mine if he could play fc3 in ultra settings @30 fps then why no for my config by the way fc3 is partly cpu intensive and partly gpu intensive

That's a two-year-old game with lower system requirements than new and upcoming games.
