Yes, it's common for GTA V to consume a significant amount of CPU power.

Oh no, not at 1080! Unless you're casting dark magic, then the 730 should only run on low settings at 720p.
720p display works well, often maintaining smooth performance around 30-50 FPS, sometimes reaching up to 60. I tested 1080p but got very slow at 20 FPS, dropping to 12-15, which was frustrating. I’m thinking about getting an R7 370 and possibly passing the GT 730 to a friend.
I consistently receive 60 regardless of explosions or other factors. Grass remains at normal levels, most elements stay high, and details stay at medium while texture stays medium.
It's a common misconception. God doesn't actually prohibit it.
For a gaming rig, you should consider your budget carefully. If you're on a tight schedule, delay building a gaming computer. Allocate an extra 50 and upgrade to a better CPU that won't limit performance during web browsing or gaming. I tested one in my HTC, and it caused major bottlenecks when streaming YouTube while playing Dota.
I own a system clocked at 4.5ghz and it handles GTA V smoothly between 45-65 fps with an HD 7870. I purchased the graphics card for $50 from my uncle, along with a GB of Z87-UD5H, a case, and a PSU from eBay for $30 (ThermalTake v3 and CX600), 24GB Crucial Ballistix Sport 1333 for $20 off Craigslist, and the G3258 at $49.99. That brings my total to around $150. With these specs, I can run GTA V at high textures and very high settings while maintaining over 40fps. It’s a solid choice for a budget gaming rig. Of course, I’ll consider upgrading to something like a 4690k or 4790k later, but right now it’s a great entry-level CPU with solid upgrade potential. It isn’t the fastest multitasker, but it’s a really good one. My clock runs at 4.5ghz on 1.19 vcore, stays under 75 under extended AIDA64 stress tests, all thanks to the stock cooler.
