Under performing relative to what? We need benchmarks, timings, something. Without some measurement, this is about as nonsensical as me asking if my shoe is larger.

Don't understand why you have 24GB of ram why not just go with 16GB? or 32GB? 550W should be fine

8 GB Of RAM From before, or just finding some for cheap, I use 20GB.

My current build - Ever Changing.

Number 1 On LTT LGA 1150 CPU Cinebench R15

550w is more than enough, you won't experience under performance from a low wattage power supply, you would be seeing reliability issues (crashing/BSoD's) if you were under powered.

 

Run some benchmarks and compare them to online results, I recommend Anandtech's bench suite. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1595

Ultra? At 1080 or 1440? Newest drivers installed?

What is your MSAA setting? GTA V has a lot of graphics settings. It sounds like you may be using up all of your VRAM, you may have to turn the settings down a bit.

 

-Disable MSAA entirely or set it no higher than x2.

-Disable water reflection MSAA as this seems to be even more intensive on the GPU than MSAA from what I've noticed.
