This is a little pricey. But found this suggestion in the comments:

Much cheaper! Don't need the graphics card straight away. Will upgrade this later!

Windows 8 hiberfil.sys large file size removal
I only have a 60GB SSD hard drive running windows 8. I am trying to save disk space and noticed this large file:
hiberfil.sys
I guessed it was to do with hibernating, and is roughly 75% the size of my RAM, which is 8GB, So it is taking up 10% of my hard drive. I found this very helpful article describing this file and it's function which is well worth the short read.
Basically, it has the added benifit of helping Windows boot faster. But I will forfiet that advantage as I only switch my PC on once a day.
Here's how to disable it:
powercfg /h off
