Im looking at building a pc with a mobo intel skylake under £200 i was wondering if this build works i would also like some advice on a psu. I want to be able to build on this cuz i will get a job in a year (im 15 atm) so i will get a new processor and gpu then but i want the psu and mobo to be ready for that. I've got an old Compaq that im going to strip for the case and stuff the hd in the build im getting a few of those for free all the outer parts are being brought from newegg.
In short: Is the mobo and cpu compatible

SDD: Will be added when i get a job

What are you getting the system for now if you will be upgrading everything in it? Why not just wait till you can build a full system? Seems a waste to buy a CPU when you are replacing it soon unless you just need a computer now for something and can't wait. Things like a power supply and motherboard you can get now, case, optical drive, mouse/keyboard, but a "holder" CPU or video card would be a waste I think, unless you need the computer now and can't just use what you have been using.

For psu you can get a 550w evga power supply because you are going to buy a graphics card or you can get away with a corsair CX 430 for a PC without gpu. The mobo and the CPU are compatible.

Don't cheap out on a PSU. When you get a job, what CPU/GPU are you considering?
Also, with that mobo, you will need DDR4 RAM
Do you have a CPU cooler?
If you let me know these details, it would make it easier to choose.
