STOP, unless she is just using it to learn then I would not use that box for Final Cut. She may be disappointed in the performance.
Video editing on any platform or OS gobbles tremendous amounts of processor cycles and for anything serious you would want an external RAID with hardware controller.
As far as Pro Tools. Box is fine but have fun setting that one up. Thing about pro tools is it can be a ***** to get running and once it is you don't mess with the box, IE no system updates or anything else. Pro Tools can be very finicky.
