will my vga monitor work with my dvi graphics card?

DVI-D to VGA isn't going to work (digital to analog). You need an DVI-I to VGA adapter (I'm running the 2GB version of that GPU with a VGA monitor): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814999201

Although I'm pretty sure one already comes with the GPU.

EDIT: I just checked the back of my PC and the adapter I have is made by MSI. I've never bought any so your GPU should come with an adapter.

I bought a new computer that should arrive soon.

The graphics card will be a MSI GTX760 4GDDR5 card, which has only DVI-I,DVI-D, HDMI & DP outputs.
My monitor on the other hand has only a single VGA input.
I bought a DVI-D DL to VGA adapter but on my current card's DVI out (GeForce 9500GT) I couldn't get any output.

the cable I was using was single link and the adapter / card was dual link though, if that matters. (also I should note the card was DVI-I but works perfectly with a DVI-D to HDMI cable)

There's a chance that the cable is just bad since I don't have any other DVI devices to test it on, but I heard that the graphics card must support analog output for the VGA adapter to work.
So- will my new card work with the adapter? also, should I buy a dual link cable for it?

So I need all DVI-D infrastructure (port, cable adapter) for the signal to come through?

DVI-I, not DVI-D. D is digital, VGA is analog and I sends out both signals. You can't turn digital to analog without an active converter.
