Connecting monitor to desktop
I am sorry if this is a basic question. I am looking to get a new desktop machine and waiting for machines to come out with the new OS pre installed. I have had laptop machines for so long now where you don't need to worry about monitor connections. But with the new machine it totally confuses me how a monitor should connect to the actual desktop machine. DVI, HDMI, VGA??? I know HDMI 1080 is what we want displayed but how should I connect. The gpu I am going to look at is the GTX 980. It looks like it has a myriad of connections including HDMI, DVI etc. so what lead should I be looking to use? HDMI to HDMI? DVI to HDMI? I just wonder what the normal way is?
