You'll need an operating system and a processor 
*He'd probably only use win7 home as he probably won't be utilizing the features in pro
and ultimate such as xp mode.
*I recommend an i5 if you have the money or otherwise an i3 will do just fine for gaming.
Hope I helped!
EDIT: I forgot also you will need a psi(power supply unit) and a hard drive. If you are still confused check out this video tutorial: YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

You'll need:
CPU: An i5 would be great, but pricey
RAM: about 4Gig of DDR3.
PSU: Something in around 500W will be good for a 285.
How much money do you have to spend?

You could spend more for better and more ram and a bigger faster drive, but why be really nice to your bro.
