DVI compatibility issues

Ok, I'm looking to build a new computer and I own a View Sonic VA1930wm monitor which has DVI-D (dual link) connector. The video card I was looking to buy is an evga 7600GS and it's DVI-I (dual link). Will this work?? Do I need a special cable with different connectors?? Or find another VC that's DVI-D too? I don't game and I want to keep it <= $100.

Any sugestions??
 
For something like $60 more you can get a 20" 1680x1050 8 bit monitor. Don't waste your money on this POS. In neither case do you actually need dual link DVI, but yes that card is all you need.
 
Too late on that POS. I own it already and MIR check has been cashed! Anyway, bought the V.C. too and decide to go VGA cable route.
