Not well.
1) You have a DUAL-CORE CPU
- that's the main problem as the game uses a lot of CPU. It's roughly HALF of an FX-4300

2) GPU:
Not sure if you have Dual Graphics setup (APU's GPU + R7-250) but the 1GB of VRAM is probably problematic. You can likely find a LOW setting that works though even if you had a good CPU I don't know how good it would look.
3) Can You Run It?

Useful Tool. In general, I recommend not playing any game unless you are at least a little ABOVE the minimum specs.
Let it scan your system. Note the MINIMUM CPU: AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Processor
*Surprisingly your CPU is better. About 2x the performance per core but HALF the cores (so TOTAL is about the same but per-core is always more important than total). I honestly don't know if you'd have a good experience or not though because very few people test on the LOWEST settings.
Summary:
With that computer, in general, I would avoid almost any demanding title. It's okay for light gaming such as Torchlight, Diablo, possibly Dirt 2/3 when tweaked settings properly, and even some good older games like Half Life 2.

Your system just barely meets the minimum requirements so the game may run but how well is another question. Lowering the settings and possibly the resolution would help but I wouldn't be able to tell you the exact settings/res and what FPS you'd get.

You can on lowest setting. GTA V is not too heavy. But R7 250 1GB OC is one of your problem for GTA V
