I was looking and I'm planning on getting the AMD 7870 or the 7950 depending on budget, and I wasn't planning on changing my monitor, but it only has a VGA slot and these graphics cards all only have HDMI / DVI / DisplayPort. Can I convert one of these into VGA and if so, how?

I've looked on everyone single 7870 at overclockers and not one says it comes with one

If you're looking at getting a new GPU surely you would want a new monitor to compliment it right?
I found one on overclockers but it is to convert VGA graphics card to DVI monitors, would this work?
I have one I will send you for free. Saves me throwing it out
Send me your address in trust and I will get it in the post tomorrow.
Thats kind of you but I'll sort one myself, Thanks for the offer though,
Can anyone tell me if this, ( http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-016-OK&groupid=1929&catid=1755&subcat= ) will be suitable?
It says connecting a VGA computer to a DVI monitor but will it work the other way around?

Every GPU from the last 5 + years has included a VGA -> DVI adapter. Trust me lol.
Thanks!
I live right by them so I'm just going drive there.
