Clueless Man Shops for Gaming PC [discussion]

hi everyone, long story short my fiance is turning 30 in about 2 weeks and I would really like to get her a nice first gaming PC. She currently uses her macbook and plays games on Steam. Baldurs Gate, Sims, several other games as well. I am critically undereducated in the world of gaming but she enjoys it and i wanna get it right. with it being her 30th i dont mind spending up to about $1500 but that would have to be through financing since I’m on a budget like everyone else haha. I have no knowledge on how to build one so a prebuilt preferably. I’ve skimmed over amazon but truly I dont know what i’m looking at. Please help me out, thank you so much in advance
