Grand Theft Auto V for PC will support 1080p and 60fps. It also supports 4K,  triple monitor configurations, and NVidia 3D Vision for up to triple monitor setups. There will also a Rockstar Editor where you can edit and create gameplay videos for both Social Club and YouTube.

The PC Requirements are as follows.

Along with the all these PC updates, they also gave a brief update on Grand Theft Auto Online: Heists. Rockstar has said that it will arrive on consoles a few weeks before the PC release.

Grand Theft Auto V for PC will launch on March 24th.

My Opinion:

I don’t mind one bit that it got delayed. After the shoddy launches of a few major titles late last year, people should be happy that Rockstar cares enough to make sure to release a version of Grand Theft Auto V that will surpass the console versions in every way. With that said, please keep in mind that Heists may not go as smoothly.
