What the "bottleneck" is isn't completely certain. It appears like the game will run reasonably well if you take your time to tweak the settings for the best experience.

Also, where the bottleneck is in a system not only varies between games a lot but can even switch during the same game. For GTA5 it looks to me like the GPU and CPU are roughly balanced so it's possible the bottleneck might be the CPU at times and GPU at other times but that's a guess.

You can also try googling Youtube for similar systems running GTA5 and see how they do. Your CPU portion of the APU is probably similar to an FX-4100.

THIS should be comparable:

(If you read the comments he says about 30FPS while recording but 35 to 40FPS when NOT recording so the game play would be slightly SMOOTHER than what the video shows. Since that's playable provided VSYNC is OFF you should have a rough idea of what the graphics look like on your system. The video isn't the best but it's good enough to show the game should run and look fairly nice.)

update:
GTA5 may still have STUTTER and Memory Leak issues. I expect it fixed soonish if it hasn't been yet but I just thought you should be aware if you buy the game so you don't spend time trying to fix it.
