I have a VGA monitor, and my GPU has no VGA port can I connect a Monitor to it and not reduce Graphics Card performance?
If my motherboard has a VGA can I connect a monitor to it and not reduce graphic performance?

I think if that is all that you have available to you use it. But The DVI signal is clearer and you will get a sharper image. It would take a while to explain but I think a great video on it to watch would be this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMVDejZH4kw I would save a little money just to buy a dvi compatible monitor

Confused.
Performance is not an issue, you either can or can't connect the monitor to the graphics card.
As said, you need to use a VGA adapter, however you must have a DVI-I connector (not DVI-D). You can see the difference here (look down under "connector"): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface
If you have the proper DVI-I connection, then you need a DVI to VGA adapter. Here's a random store site in Canada or ask a friend if they have one laying around (or you do) as they come with most graphics cards: http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/dvi-to-vga-cable-adapter-black-mf/6000066422768
*That's the same thing linked above in another comment, but again you MUST have the DVI-I connector (single or dual).
