I have a similar processors (Q6600) with similar specs except with an older GPU (HD 4850) as one of my HTPC. To put it bluntly, this is not a good enough system to run GTA V. I would recommend building an entire system from the ground up. The only good option I can think of is try upgrading your GPU to something like a RX 470 (which may allow you to play at higher settings, or get a used HD 7870) which may allow you to play it at mid to low settings. But honestly, GTA V is CPU heavy, and that's a 10 year old CPU. Ideally you would try to get the best GPU you can afford so RX 480 seems like the best GPU you can get for less than $250.

With your current setup you 'may' be able to run it at LOW Settings @720P but I wouldn't consider that a pleasurable experience.

Your computer isn't far off from my 2013 laptop which has an i5 3230m and a GTX 660m. I would say the C2Q9650 has the slight edge over the i5 3230m while the GTX 660m (equivalent to an HD 5770) has the slight edge over the GTS 450.

You can play GTA 5 with either DX11 or DX10. My 14" laptop has a resolution of 1366x768 and GTA was playable enough with medium settings.

If you play GTA V at 720p, I think it's playable enough at Medium or High. Any higher resolution and you're pushing it.

My laptop screens GTA V and other games:

I have no experience with Xeons. So, I can't tell you how those will perform. The GTS 450 will still limit you to 720p. It's even older than the HD 5770.

At this day and age, if you're not running a 4790k with a 660 or above, you're not gaming.

Especially now that we are going to the era of VR, soon everyone will be forced to upgrade.

@_SKatEDiRt_: You don't know what you're missing until you try it. That's what I learn as a gamer growing up.

I can't read the comments. But, I take it the framerates are in the 30's to 50's range. That's about close to what I was getting with my old laptop. The detail settings look lower than what I had mine set to. It looks like the screen resolution was set to 1080p. I guess it could be done if the detail was set low enough.

You're probably better off sticking with Intel unless you plan on buying an AMD Ryzen CPU. I have an FX-8350 that is paired with a 6 GB GTX 1060. Although it remains mostly above 60 fps and often exceeding 100 fps, there are some spots where the framerates drop to the 30's.

Your limiting piece of hardware is your GPU. My dad was able to play GTA V with a Q9300 @2.5 GHz and 8 GB of RAM with a Radeon 7870 2GB at 1080p pretty well. The 7870 is a substantially faster GPU, however.

There could be CPU bottleneck. You need at least fx4300. This
