The motherboard just connects the parts. The processor should be good for 5 years and all you would need is a video card upgrade later.
You might need a new power supply when upgrading the video card because the one that comes with it is very low quality.
That PC would work, i't all compatible. However, it's a quite bad combination of hardware, and you are paying a high price for some performance you will not be able to use:
- It has the Intel 7700K CPU: this is the most expensive CPU of that generation, it's expensive because it can be overclocked with the right motherboard. But your motherboard does not allow overclocking, so you are paying extra for a capability you won't be able to use.
- It has a GTX 1050Ti as GPU: compared to the CPU, this GPU is very underpowered. To make it more balanced, you would need either a much better GPU (but that would drive costs up a lot), or a slower CPU.

So I would not buy this PC, it's throwing money away for no good reason.

From that same store, i would recommend these two options:

- If you want to spend the same amount of money, this one will give you much better gaming performance: http://lehardware.com/home/280-gaming-pc-nox-i5-8gb-gtx-1060-6gb.html
- If you want the same kind of performance you were going to get with your original option, but paying a fair price for it, go with this one, you will save $2500: http://lehardware.com/home/238-gaming-pc-nox-i5-8gb-ddr3-gtx-1050ti-4gb.html

Hope it helps! :)

Everything up to this point means nothing.
You need to state what the PC will be used for if editing and such then the video card don't matter as much as if you were gaming.
Just to state this their using the cheapest motherboard and power supply (probably memory also) that they can get for the PC.
I would say buying any of the 4XXX processors above would be a mistake. Get the best processor and even for gaming the 1050ti is a decent card and can always be upgraded in the future.
