sorry dont know how to check for system specs so i use systemlabrequirement to check if i can run games. so how high will i be able to run PR?

You should be able to run it quite well. The only problem I can see is the graphics card possibly, other than that the specs seem fine.

I'm guessing this is a laptop?

whats wrong with the graphics card? and no this isnt a laptop. its a HP Touchsmart IQ500 series pc

Possibly too low on memory. Your card will definatly handle BF2 and PR, just not sure how high you could push the graphics.

Only reason I thought it was a laptop was because of the compact graphics card fitted.

So bottom line is, it will run PR.

Well i'm trying to look for a new PC and also one that could possibly run PR. Is this one good? I am not looking for gaming desktops but one that i can use for personal time and gaming and so far i've come up with this.

Processor AMD Athlon™ II 260u Dual-Core Processor
Processor speed 1.80GHz
Display 20" LCD
Battery type N/A
Battery life N/A
Cache memory 2MB L2
System memory 3GB
Type of memory DDR3
Hard drive 500GB (7200RPM) SATA
Digital media 6-in-1 card reader
Graphics ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4270
Operating system Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium
----

The processor on this rig is awful, I don't recommend it.
You should get a custom build, You can have pretty decent ones for little money, And you'll save money too.

Well, i have no knowledge of doing custom builds. I am looking for desktops or towers by itself to handle PR.
Do you recommend any? Price range around 500 - 800 $ US.

I'll check out newegg, They got interesting builds sometimes that are quite cheap. And since its holidays soon, They probably have good discounts too.
Stay tuned.

EDIT : Well first PC I find and it looks quite nice. The graphics card ain't the best but it could run PR like a charm.

550$, You save 80$ off the original price, And shipping is free!

RE-EDIT : It should do a great job on handling your other needs, I don't know what you want to do apart from gaming but I think this machine would be perfect for you.

RE-EDIT Again : Oh and since your budget can go up to 800$, I've read the reviews and reviews says that the PSU fan is loud and the graphic card is no good for new games, So if you buy this PC and you think PR could run faster, You could upgrade the GPU as well as the PSU, Shouldn't cost more than 125$.

Hey you're welcome, You have a great day now!

moved to a more appropriate section

side note: the suggested rig is better price/value than the one suggested before
However it is missing the 20" display
