If you need an OS here's how to get Windows for a great price: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXTqz3Fd28M

You will also need a wireless network card unless you are connecting to the internet via a LAN cable?

Yes RAM is easy to upgrade, but he can afford it at this budget and it is nice to have for video editing. And some games use 10+ GB's of RAM. He might also have a lot of browser tabs open. 

CPU is more important in video editing, why not get him an Xeon or i7?

He would have to cheap out on stuff like SDD, RAM, case etc. to fit it into the budget.
