Apart from an on-board GPU is it adventitious to having a NVidia GeForce 210 on my system or should I just sell it.
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H
CPU: Intel Pentium G2120
RAM: 8Gb
OS: Microsoft Server 2012 standard
System Use: XBMC Back-end, hosting my Files and occasional game server (minecraft for kids)

there is no reason to have a discrete video card in your server. Not really sure that the GT210 is worth selling, but see how you go.

What about if XBMC eventually add transcoding? Would be helpful then?

The graphics card won't help transcoding unless xbmc devs implement some on-GPU encoding, even then the 210 wouldn't be your strongest card for that.
