you should be able to get any 980, not a ti, or a fury for around 350gbp on newegg. either of those and you will be good. but really if you aren't gaming at 1080p or above its a masturbatory exercise. you wont need an expensive card to play those games at lowres.
Not a very balanced build, spent a lot on the CPU but very little on the GPU. It will not be able to play AAA games on max settings at 60 FPS at 1080p.

You should upgrade the GPU to something like a GTX 970 if you want to go the nVidia route. (Or spend more for a 980 Ti)

The 6th gen core i7 6700k is an excellent and decent cpu for gaming.The only thing which holds back is GTX 750 TI which cannot play newer upcoming titles on 1080p ultra settings. This GPU is for low-mid gaming. Upgrade you gpu to GTX 960 OR 970 .I7 6700k wont bottleneck them AND WITH GTX 960 OR 970 it would be a nice gaming rig .http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-970-GAMING-4G/dp/B00NN0GEXQ
 


For GTA 5 you really want something with a minimum of 4GB of RAM to be close to playing max settings. At 4GB you will still not be able to max everything out @ 1080p but come very close (at least according to its RAM usage tool)
