Yes, the 8350 even heavily overclocked would bottleneck cards much less powerful than a 1080 in GTA V. You would be able to run higher settings with the 1080, but your FPS wouldn't change much if at all.

Please don't use that T2, is is a poor performing cooler. You'd need to spend atleast $20 to get worth while performance on a CPU like the cryorig m9i.

Don't choose a CPU based on your gpu, vice versa. Choose a CPU based on the desired FPS in the intended games, and choose a GPU based on the desired graphical settings in those games.
