We've played together online for years but we don't know each other's real names/locations. Other than in USA. We both like our privacy and would like to keep it that way. He's helped me through some rough times and I'd like to do something nice.

What would be a way to get him funds to buy a prebuilt? He's not too techy and can't assemble his own. Send crypto? Would a newegg or Amazon gift card link back to my account? Would online retailer's take a vanilla visa in such a high amount? I'm thinking around 1500ish.

Any recommendations or experience with this odd request would be appreciated! Thanks.
