Here is my suggestion. I know many will suggest a 4690k, but overclocking is not something for a newbie, and not really worth the added cost. I would rather have the extra threads, of the Xeon, for multitasking capability. The 1231v3 is essentially, an i7 4770, without the integrated graphics.

Also, might I add that GTA V is very well optimized. Attaining 60FPS on 1080P could probably even be accomplished on something around or slightly above a 7750.

100mhz isn't worth $22. The Semi-Modular, 620W, High Current Gamer is also seasonic made.

If you want top performance from your GPU, Gigabyte Gaming G1, MSI Gaming 100ME (has back plate) which have boosted clocks (factory overclocked) are what you want. Other than that, everything else that logainofhades mentioned is excellent!
