I have an old computer that I bought about 6 years ago for college. It still runs great, but I haven't been playing anything other than flash games on it. I think Star Wars: Empire at War is the last real computer game that I have tried running on this thing with success. I want to stick a video card in it, but I am not sure what would be worth it and what would be overkill for a computer this old.
Here is the computer: http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/R/5022/5022nv.shtml

The only upgrade from the original parts is that it now has four 1 GB sticks of memory instead of the original two sticks of 512 MB memory.
The current monitor on this computer is 17" and 1280 x 1024. It is possible I will upgrade it at some point.
I am looking to be able to play Portal, which just crashes when the first portal opens right now. I also have a friend that wants me to try out League of Legends with him, so I need to be able to play that too.
Any suggestions on what to put in this computer?
