Where are you gonna get the XL2411T? XL2411 has been EOL le, and xtreme solutions is selling the XL2411Z at $599.

Can drop the vengeance pro to normal vengeance or KVR. Wun make your pc fly faster with the pros.

Can consider 280x as 760 will soon be not enough to maintain gd fps for upcoming games. If you are gonna break the combo, go get seasonic G650w or superflower HX600w psu.

Case is peronal preference, but imo, that 1 quite ex. You can get something like arc midi, air 540, 450d, 750d and have some allowance for other stuff.

If its jsut CS:GO, 760 would be more than good enough le. But if u r gonna play other high end fps games, then you may wanna consider 280x, 770 at least.

Wow. Er let me add my two cents haha...

You're obviously looking to overclock the cpu, but I don't see a cpu cooler. Perhaps a cm hyper 212 for air or a liquid cooling system should be considered. Stock fan won't help you overclock your cpu.

Next, I understand case is a bit of a personal preference, but with such a system you might as well aim for a better gpu. Save a bit on the case and perhaps aim for a case and psu combo instead, and get a better gpu. 280x if you can find it, or any better green card. Anyhow, try to aim for gpu being one of the most focused items in your build.

If you're getting normal vengeance, consider the low profile if you getting air cooling.

Also, what os will you be using?

And Power is okay, but might wanna get a better one if you ever intend to get a future dual gpu.

Yeah. That's my two cents for now. From a newbie builder trying to help haha.
