8800GTS and Monitor Issues

[Twinblade]

I've just recently built my new system, spec in sig but have a little problem.

My old system, with a nvidia FX5200 graphics card was able to connect to my monitor Acer AL1717, however, the connectors on my new 8800 GTS isnt the same.

Is there a cable that fits the 8800GTS and my monitor, or do I need a new monitor?

I'm assuming that your monitor uses a VGA (15-pin) cable. There should be adapters with your card that you can plug into the ports on the gfx card, converting them from DVI to VGA.

Yep, you normally get at least one in the box. It converts DVI (White) to VGA (Blue).
