The comp you linked would probably be able to play Mass Effect maxed out. I have an older version of the Acer 4820TG (http://www.amazon.com/Acer-TimelineX-AS4... and it runs ME2 at about 40-50 fps with every setting tapped. I think the Asus would be a little weaker, but it would still do.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
