A friend is putting together a new rig for video editing only (doesn't play games). So far this is the component list (see attached). This list was put together by someone else. I recommend a slightly higher wattage PSU for potential upgrades down the line and it needs a GPU. 

What would you guys recommend?

Skylake Xeons will not work on consumer chipsets (B150, H170, H110, Z170). You'll need a workstation/server chipset (C232, C236) for it to work and they're usually more expensive.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.
