guys i have :

i5 2500k

Gigabyte r9 280x

Asus P8P67 m-pro

8 GB @1600

seasonic m12ii 850w

and i love playing the open world games so i was thinking i wanna play GTA V on high setting on 1080p so is my cpu i5 2500k gonna do the work or does i have to upgrade it to i7 4790k ?

i am not planing on changing the GPU because i think the r9 280x is still powerfull @ 1080p
so what you think guys what will be better ?

2500K should be just fine for V. If you really want to upgrade, don't go any further than i5 4690K.

one more thing i have the i5 2500k on 4.0GHz do you think it's really worth upgrading to i5 4690k instead of i7 4790k ?

It's not really worth upgrading to anything right now, a 4 GHz 2500K should pull you through almost anything.
