Righto chaps I need help. Basically, new computer only has a DVI or HDMI port for the Graphics card, Monitor only has a VGA port..

If I buy this... www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/812124.htm do I HAVE to have all the cables connected? Or could I just use the DVI-I and VGA ends and let the DVI-D lead dangling?

It wouldn't affect the screen if I just let the other cable dangle unplugged?
