Hey all,

I have an older gateway fx(2008) that has kinda been on its last legs. Few USB ports dont work and the ethernet port on the back just broke. Wondering if anyone knows some fixes to this? Is there a reasonable way to bring this prebuilt computer up to speed? Or am i best off with a newer purchase? Usually I play league and a few other games nothing overly heavy

Should run LoL and similar games just fine as is - If you need more/working USB ports you can always buy an expansion card, same with ethernet, may as well just stick with WiFi though.

That's what I mean. Still a decent machine.
