Hello! I have a PC with Pentium G2030 and 6gb ram and i want to put in a GT 1030 2gb. It will run GTA 5 in 1080p?

I think GTA 5 needs a 4-thread processor and this has only 2 threads. We can expect the game simply not to even start or to run at very low fps/with stuters this way. The cheapest possible 4-thread cpu for socket 1155 is i3-2100T, though a non-T cpu or i5 would give better performance and less need to tweak video settings.
This part should be fine. I guess it is ddr3-1333 MHz. Adding another 2 GB somehow has to be easy for you, though.
GT 1030 2gb
This part is fine, though with the socket 1155-configuration 60+ FPS would need tweaking the settings.

The performance will be better with a RX 550 than with GT1030?

Dude, it's your cpu that is the biggest issue around here. You also didn't say what is the ram speed - 1333, 1066, or?. Adding 2 GB more ram is also a good idea, but for a total of 8 GB ddr3-1333, not less speed.
Apart of this, my knowledge about AMD is very limited. Otherwise I'd say s.th. about combining techpowerup and video game benchmarks, but far not this is the problem. Really, even a Q6600 sounds a better idea than a Pentium G2030, and you have much better upgrade options.
 
It looks like the minimum requirements for GTA-V is a quad thread processor.
Your G2030 has only two.
There are plenty of 4 thread processors available on ebay that will run on your lga1155 motherboard.
Here is a i5-2400 for $20:

On graphics, GT1030 or rx550 are comparable.
RX550 is a bit stronger but it requires more power.

As I have tested... G2030 can run GTA 5, at 6GB RAM and with GT 1030, You can play GTA 5 at high settings..
But you wil face shuttering when you will drive car..
Else it is playable at 1080p
Tested with GT 730 Pentium G2020 8GB RAM (1333Mhz ) with windows 7..
Was getting 56-57FPS at Medium settings at 1080p
