Hi all, (I hope I have the right forum)
I'm very new here and I've come because I've got a bit of a problem. I have a pretty new computer (12 months old) that has an AMD Radeon 7900 Series graphics card. I'm looking to get a dual monitor setup but I don't know what sort of cables I will need, since the monitor is a bit old.
Here is a picture of the ports on the back of my monitor:

And here is a picture of the ports on the back of my PC:

On the right in the PC picture, you can see the HDMI port that I am currently using to use my main monitor.
Anyway, I am looking to connect the old monitor (picture 1) into my graphics card so I can have a dual monitor setup. I went to the store and the guy told me basically I needed nearly $100 worth of stuff to do that I was skeptical so I came here to ask. With all these different types of DVI cables, I'm not really sure which one I need.
Basically, my question is: what sort of cable/ connector am I going to need to connect this monitor into my graphics card so I can have dual monitors?
