Can it run and is it worth buying?

Hey community.

You must believe there is something wrong with me when I'm only considering this and not actually doing it because it has to be one of best games ever so far, but I'm considering to buy GTA V and am unsure whether it is really worth it?
That is one thing though, another thing is if my laptop can even run it without issues? This is my rig:

Thanks in advance.

It will run it, but it will struggle in places. Slowish CPU (low frequency) and very average GPU. GTA V is heavy on both. Probably get away with low settings.

Its likely to run the game. do expect a framerate around 20-30 though, which to some is quite playable, but to others like me, is utterly unacceptable. I do think that lowering the graphics may improve performance, if you don't mind looking at muddy textures.

I can see what you mean nexusrev. I watched a video of GTA V on lowest settings, and I'm not gonna spent 60 EUR to play such a great game on lowest settings with a swinging fps.
Thanks for your replies.
