Compatability Issues between GPU & Monitor

[1337 n00b]

Im starting to build my own PC, i've eyed up a Graphics Card on ebay:

NVidia GeForce 7800 GTX 256MB PCI-E

it has a TV out, and 2 DVI-I outputs

the monitor im currently using is a Compaq MV740 CRT which uses a HD-15 connector, obviously the connectors wont fit together...
I've scoured the net, and found that DVI-I output will not work on Analouge CRT, but.. i've seen adapters for sale that will give me a HD-15 output on a DVI-I Graphics Card. So What Will Work??
Will i have to purchase a new TFT monitor or something

Cheers

There are VGA (HD-15) to DVI adapters and most such cards are bundled with DVI-VGA adapters. You should be able to get one for less than 10$ at your local hardware store.

So the graphics card will drive a Analouge CRT monitor using the adapter and an analouge signal, and / or a flat panel monitor, using a digital signal?
Because if the graphics card outputs only a digital signal, then my current monitor wont work?

dunno me,

i have a headache now

Thanks Anyway
