What cable do I need to connect the old monitor to the new desktop? Monitor currently has a DVI-D single link (digital only) cable. The new computer does not have a connection for this type of cable. The monitor appears to have on outlet for HDMI. Thanks.

@Jackpine , welcome to the forum.
According to the Product Specifications and your pictures, the monitor and the computer, each has a HDMI port. This is the best port to use to connect them. HDMI supports both audio and video in the same cable. Here is an example of what you need: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dynex-3-4k-ultra-hd-hdmi-cable-black/7525166.p?skuId=7525166
You will be able to go to your local BestBuy or Walmart and get just what you need. Look for a cable that is reasonably priced. It has been proven that the $100 cables are no better than the $10 cables for everyday use. If you can get a more expensive cable on sale cheap, good for you!
