Get this instead, use Win 10 Home, Pro isn't good for general consumer use.
He can chuck in an SSD and migrate OS later, best to spend on hardware initially, because an SSD is just a drop in upgrade, you can't pay the difference for a CPU or GPU later on, although with the EVGA 1080 you can use their step up program to go to a 1080 TI and just pay the difference which he might be interested in.

Similar IPC so it performs slightly worse. Benefits are the extra 12 threads for certain uses and easy overclocking to match the Intel's IPC.
