If it is Windows 7, you will want pro as home only allows you to use 8GB of RAM at maximum.

A Microsoft blog post from May 13 described each edition. Windows 10 Home is the "consumer-focused" desktop edition aimed at PCs, tablets and 2-in-1 devices. Windows 10 Pro is also geared for PCs, tablets and 2-in-1 devices but throws in extra features for small businesses, such as the ability to manage your users' devices and use the remote desktop tool to log onto and control another PC.

So, I doubt you'll need the Pro version of Windows 10 unless this describes you.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

I'd say he'd be looking at Home Premium (16GB limit) as Home Basic (not available in US) & Starter (32bit + OEM only) had very limited distribution.

Later Windows OS's had higher limits so it's even less of an issue.

 

All limits can be seen here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366778(v=vs.85).aspx#physical_memory_limits_windows_7
