I am quite concerned that my cpu wont be able to handle gta 5 on ultra settings.i just ordered the game online and saw that my system meets minimum system requirements.But will i be able to play it in ultra settings.My rig;
CPU- i5 2310@2.90Ghz

Most games only care about your graphics card, so I would imagine you should be fine on high\ultra but make sure you update your drivers, this game has some performance bugs right now.

That is not true, CPU's play an important role in games, especially these newer games coming out. CPU's handle everything from feeding the GPU frames, to calculating AI paths and keeping track of every player in the game world. GTA will benefit from a beefier CPU because of the size of the game world. To answer your question OP, you should be fine on high settings, you should definitely look into an upgrade on your CPU in the future though. It is getting pretty dated.

i5's dont bottleneck single cards, it should handle any game, even low clocked one like you have. In the future think about getting a new CPU but atm it should be fine.

You won't have any issues playing gta5 with your current setup. Or much of anything else for that matter.

But guys i have stuttering issues with AC UNITY and WATCH DOGS(only).I was told that my GPU could easily handle all games maxed but when i crank up the settings in ac unity and watch dogs i experience stutterings.But it happens only with ac unity and watch dogs.Infact i also experience stutterings when im gaming at 720p in medium settings and this really worries me.But other games like farcry 4,shadow of mordor run smooth in ultra settings.

Are you using the latest drivers?
Have you measured the temps when you are gaming?
You can do that by downloading MSI afterburner, and simply see if the gpu is getting to hot and throttling speeds.

Here is a link, instal the program and try again..... after updating your graphics drivers

I think my GPU is working fine because i did the benchmarks on unigine valley and the scores were perfect.Max gpu temp while benchmarking was 70c and the drivers are fully up to date.I think my outdated cpu is bottlenecking the gtx 970 and thus im experiencing stutterings in the games which require heavy cpu power.

I would open some programs like CPUz and task manager and monitor CPU usage and temps while in a game. It'll give you a better idea on how your CPU is handling your games.
