Budget Gaming PC/Laptop for The Sims 4

Hi all, looking to surprise my girlfriend with a new PC or gaming laptop for Christmas but I really need help!
Basically she just wants to be able to play The Sims 4 smoothly. She's currently on a Mac and she complains about it a lot.
Problem is my budget is pretty low, have only about $750 - is this going to be doable or should I forget about it? Any pointers would be much appreciated!

    Custom gaming desktop?

    Doesn't take much horsepower to run Sims 4. Modern integrated GPU's like the Vega built into AMD Ryzen mobile CPU's can handle some casual games.

    I definitely understand why she would be frustrated having to use a mac lol, but I wouldn't bother with that budget. Plus that's a hell of a lot of money to spend on someone for christmas, let alone just a gf, I'd say it's a bad idea all around. You can always go with the console option, you can get a used Xbox One from EB Games for about $200 for example and another 50 for the game not including all the extra DLC's.
