I have bought this BenqGW2255 (not the HM version which has an HDMI facility) monitor which has a Dual Link DVI-D Input Connection . My Question is how to connect this MSI Graphic Card(R7770 - PMD1GD5) which has got a single Dual Link DVI-I Video Output Function ? A little help would be thankful !!!

This should be as simple as plugging a DVI cable into both ports. The computer should automatically find and enable the monitor, and the monitor should automatically detect the input. The one problem I see is that the monitor has a digital-only DVI port (there are no pins surrounding the wide pin), so you will need to make sure you get the correct cable. The fact that the GPU has a DVI-D port should not matter, it should still be fully compatible. This cable, for example, should work perfectly:
