Default Help -- silly question

Hello

I'm just about to buy an 8600 GTS graphics card. A silly question, but where does my monitor plug in?! Does it come with some sort of converter?

you need a DVI cable mate - do you have a similar looking connector on the back of the monitor?

If not, the card should come with a VGA/DVI converter plug

Thanks. No, my monitor has a normal 'blue' cable.

So it'll come with the converter?
