I'm upgrading my PC that's about 7 years old. I don't know whether to keep using my old graphics card or just use the onboard graphics card instead.

I don't know whether there's any point to using it, or whether it could downgrade any onboard graphics processing.

The old graphics card is the Sapphire Radeon ATI x1950 pro (I think it's 512MB GDDR3).

My new setup is:
Asus Z97-A
Intel i5 4690K
16GB 1866 DDR3 RAM
Evo 212
240GB SSD

From the old PC I'm keeping various HDDs, Coolermaster 430W IGreen power PSU and the Antec 900 case.

I don't use the PC for gaming. It will generally be used for office stuff, photo processing and running a virtual Big Data sandbox.

I have 1 24" DVI monitor, but may at some point dual monitor.
