It will last long if u intend to play CS:GO for the next 5 yrs... But if u wanna plae upcoming games, then a 280x is needed. Also, it depends on the resolution that you are playing in.

Anyway, your selection of parts are slightly off. Let the pros quote you better. Can presume your budget is $1k w/o monitor, kb, mouse, speakers?

Monitor resolution depends on my monitor or does not?
And I also would love games like Dota 2, LoL, TF2 and such. I also like watching videos; movies!

It depends. Your monitor may be 1080p or lower. But judging from the list of games you gonna play, 270x gaming is more than enough le. But if u venture into much much much higher end games, then the 270x wun cut it.

So, it all depends on whether you gonna play that games for the next few years.

I suggest getting 2 sticks of 4GB RAM, not 4 sticks of 2GB RAM, unless you intend to buy the RAM 2nd hand.
