Intel coffee lake I5 8400 -> better single core -> better FPS in game, although Ryzen 1600 overclock can narrow down gap pretty good, 8600k overclock can gain more FPS advantage.

Ryzen 1600 has doubled threads which is more useful in heavy rendering/multitasking/streaming. For gaming, you will like Intel coffee lake. Since GTAV is CPU hungary, I will put extra money onto CPU.

You should drop down to a Ryzen 5 instead and use the money saved to get yourself another drive for games/data. That 240GB drive won't be able to hold your Windows install + all of the aforementioned games, unless you're ok with constantly swapping games in and out of storage.

Recommend you one change to Blackbird's build, psu. Seasonic M12II EVO is decent, but old model, which lacks some good protections. This offers better protections, and you will not want go cheap on PSU:

And for the extra 160 bucks or so, you can either get GTX 1080 instead or 8600k + a good cooler like dark pro 3 or R1 ultimate.

Those will add more FPS to the build depending on games.
