Would my gtx 660 ti be compatible with xl2411?
I'm planning to buy a gaming monitor the Benq xl2411 and I don't if my graphics card is compatioble with the xl2411 and get all the features that the monitor has such as the 144hz and 1ms response time.

Pc Specs:
cpu: I5 7400
RAM: viper ddr4 16GB
SSD: 240 GB
GPU: gtx 660ti
motherboard: z170-a pro

Your 660 Ti has HDMI out right? That monitor has an HDMI input, and DVI, so that should be no problem.

I doubt you'll be getting a high enough framerate in newer games at 1080p to benefit from the high refresh rate though. Most people would use a 1070 for high refresh rate 1080p gaming. If you are playing esports games like CSGO or League of Legends, that's a different story.

So it's not that the 660 Ti isn't compatible, it's that it's just not fast enough. You can still get, and use, that monitor but you won't see any added benefit over a 60hz monitor.

edit: After reading some more about this, I think it would help if you specified what outputs your videocard has. You mention you have a GTX 660 Ti, but don't mention make or model...

While the above guy said a lot, yes. The compatibility depends on which make of the 660ti you have. While this is quite a bad time for a 660ti honestly, you probably and upgrade for THAT before anything else. My suggestion is a 1060 3 GB.
Now, while the likeliness of the port on a 660ti matching with the ports available on the monitor is quite high, you would want a card that has DisplayPort to take full advantage of the monitors 144Hz Refresh rate.
HDMI I think can only do 60 Hz output.
It would probably help you more with a new GPU though honestly. Maybe even get an i5 6600K, or do a BIOS Update and get the 7600K, you're wasting the overclocking ability of the Z170 motherboard with a non-K processor. If you can squeeze out some more FPS like that, you could have a great time with your current monitor.
While this monitor would be useless for most games, other than esports games of course, like mentioned CSGO, League of Legends, where you need as much FPS as possible, it looks good. My suggestion, stick with your monitor, upgrade your rig!
