Now, I know I strayed dangerously close to your upper, upper limit but I have very good reasons for doing so which I'll explain below.
I'd also like to say (and I may catch some heat for this) I didn't skimp on your peripherals. I got you a great entry level gaming set of gear alongside a fairly high end machine. The headphones are EXTREMELY good though (you said you were an audiophile). The monitor is great quality as well. I spent a little extra on these because they will likely follow you through multiple computers. I've used the same mice, keyboards, etc. for 1-2 generations of builds.
Breakin' it down:
I'm sure I'll catch hell from some people on here that you should be getting a better build and sacrificing peripherals but trust me. Good peripherals contribute a LOT more to the gaming experience than you would think. I've been doing this for years and I've played on everything from stock gateway mice to my now top end $100 Razer mouse; it's totally worth it.
Works good for me. I use this one

It's called the Razer Goliathus Extended.
I assume by "high sensitivity" you mean high inches per 360, low sensitivity.
You should first of all have a gaming mouse and mousepad if you don't already. The higher DPI and more ergonomic mouse design helps immensely. Definitely more important is the mouse pad. Its hard, near impossible to play with a 12-inch/360 if your mousepad is only 4 inches long. I suggest the Razer Goliathus mousepad.
And yes, what you say is correct, when you have a lower sensitivity, you primarily use your wrist and forearm to move your mouse large strokes, and use your fingers to make fine adjustments. This type of aiming style is more efficient simply because you have so much more mouse control. When you're using a ridiculously high sensitivity, like 1inch/360, you can ONLY make large mouse movements. You can't make small adjustments for tracking, you can pretty much only twitch aim. And as a scout, you want to be tracking, and keeping your crosshair on them as long as you can.
I suggest you just try lowering your sensitivity to something like 8 or 10 inches per 360. You will hate it at first and you will play like complete garbage at first, but you will eventually get used to it, I promise you. You just need to practice with it.
In the long run, for hitscan classes, lower sensitivities are better, because they yield more mouse control and allow you to more easily keep your crosshair on a target.
