I have an Asus motherboard with integrated graphics but am currently using a 1Gb Radeon HD5770 PCIe graphics card. Here's the thing.. I'm no longer using my desktop for gaming or any heavy graphics stuff. I do mostly MS office work, browsing and my daughter a few web based games. The GPU fan is by far the noisiest thing in the PC and just removing it is the easiest solution. Am I likely to experience any performance loss by removing the graphics card and using onboard graphics? I'll keep on to the card for maybe a dual screen project when office space suffices!
I'm also going to migrate the OS from my 1Tb HDD to a nice shiny new SSD
