I have a Samsung SyncMaster S22B310 Monitor with a Male DVI-D Dual Link port and my Graphics card is a Powercolor HD 7770 with a Female DVI-I Dual Link port. I want to buy a cable but what cable should I buy? Will a DVI-D Cable work? or It won't since the Card's port is DVI-I?

you only get one kind of dvi cable which has male DVI-D connectors on either end.

The dvi-i port allows you to use a dvi to vga adapter to output an analogue signal via a vga cable, The DVI-I port is backwards compatible essentially.
