Hello! I wanted to get this PC in the near future:

It's a Windows 8 Asus 2in1 13.3 Inch Touch-Screen Laptop, specs are below.

13.3 Inch Screen with a 1366x768 Resolution
4th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-4210U processor
1.7GHz processor speed with Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz.
Intel® HD Graphics 4400 GPU
8GB RAM
500GB Hard Drive

And I really want to know if I will be able to run certain games at acceptable frames (30-40 fps or higher) with medium to low graphical settings:

Borderlands 1/2/Pre-Sequel
Civilization V
Total War: Rome II
PAYDAY 2
Fallout 3/New Vegas
Rust
Far Cry 4
Insurgency
Bioshock 1/2/Infinite

Just to name a few, Thanks!

Onboard graphics have gotten better, but in general, that laptop will be all but unusable for anything but Minecraft (and even then, maybe not even at full resolution). I would look for a laptop with discrete graphics (either an Nvidia or Radeon mobile GPU) - those can actually do a pretty good job these days, all while consuming very little power.

You won't get good frames in games with that computer on most games. From your list - Borderlands 2/pre-sequel, Far Cry 4, and Bioshock infinite will struggle. You should be able to play the others on low.

If the computer had a higher resolution, you would have to lower it but it seems quite low already for a modern laptop.

If you lower the resolution a bit, yes. Hopefully the laptop has good cooling. If it doesn't, throttling could make it even worse.
