By looking at it, if i'm interpreting correctly. You have 6 CPU cores at 100% load. That will be the reason.

You can look in resource monitor what is consuming all of the resource.
If there is nothing out of the ordinary, then you will want to overclock your CPU and see how your performance increases.
- NVIDIA Control Panel could be capping the performance of your GPU for power management
- GPU or CPU could potentially be overheating - you'd need to monitor temps and % load of the components
- Could be background processes hogging hardware resource, check if there are any background processes hogging resources
- CPU could be capped from power management settings, you can change this in control panel settings and advanced in BIOS
- Ensure the storage disks have been cleaned / optimised as far as possible and regularly
- Could be virus / malware using hardware resource, run scans as appropriate
- Out of date / conflicting drivers - ensure all of your drivers are up to date or rollback to your previous drivers if the issue coincided with an update

After eliminating all those options, If you see any of your INDIVIDUAL CPU cores, or GPU reaching 100% load, that'll be your bottleneck.

The FX8350 should be fine but could also potentially be a slightly limiting factor in GTA, so if you're individual core loads are peaking, then if you try overclocking your CPU, a performance increase will mean your CPU is your bottleneck.
 
Have you tried and eliminated each of the options I have stated above?

The Gaming App was not the software capping your GPU performance, you will want to access your GPU relevant software (NVIDIA = GeForce Experience, AMD = Radeon Settings) or you can change some settings in the BIOS (motherboard dependant).
 
If you've confirmed that every single option in the list is not a problem, move onto the next step stated above:

"After eliminating all those options, If you see any of your INDIVIDUAL CPU cores, or GPU reaching 100% load, that'll be your bottleneck. "

So what are your individual CPU core or GPU loads?
