Should I go with cpu's integrated graphics or a dedicated graphics card ??

[fsync28]

These days Intel processors comes with integrated graphics bundled with cpu if i'm not wrong. so, my question is does this affect the cpu performance or heat?
to be more precise does this cpu integrate graphics slowdown the pc or cause more heat. I'm providing my system specs below
mobo - gigabyte h81m-s1(rev2.1)
cpu - intel g3220(Intel® HD Graphics 4400)
dedicated gpu - ati radeon hd5450
ram - 4gb ddr3
hdd - 500gb seagate
I want to ask another question should I sell my dedicated gpu mentioned above if i don't need it and use the integrated one(cause it slightly better) or there will be any performance drop?

You should still use the discrete graphics card you have. While it's unlikely that you'd notice any speed differences in the CPU if you were to use the integrated graphics, there's no point if you do have a discrete graphics card.

Is there a reason you would want to remove the discrete graphics card?

What is your primary use for you computer? If you game, performance is always going to be better on a discrete graphics card. Though the hd 5450 is pretty dated and wasn't too powerful even when it was new.

If you don't game, the integrated Intel graphics are fine. It will however use some of your system RAM, so it's going to cut into that 4GB that you have a little.

As for additional heat, as long as you are doing desktop work and not gaming, there will not be any significant increase in temperature.

Using the integrated graphics does not slow anything down or cause more heat. The GPU you have is nearly worthless so selling it is a waste of time. The integrated graphics on your Intel chip is actually better than the HD5450.

according to this website "http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=1793&gid2=411&compare=intel-hd-graphics-4400-desktop-vs-radeon-hd-5450-1024mb" it seems that intel hd4400 integrated is slightly better than my old ati radeon hd5450. so, if the performance is the same without any cpu performance degradation or excessive heat i can sell that for some money that can be use for upgrading for something else..

Just remember that the integrated graphics is going to use some of your system RAM. That's really the only caveat. On the desktop it shouldn't be a significant amount though.

I don't play games too much it's for surfing internet, working with office & photoshop (this kind of things) & Watching HD movies.

Then the integrated graphics is more than good enough
