So I'm finishing my first PC soon with a 980 inside of it. My current monitor only supports VGA and DVI-I, I know the 980 has a DVI-I port in it I still plan on upgrading my monitor soon to one that has DisplayPort. So to save money I plan on buying a DisplayPort cable and getting a converter so that it can work with my monitor, the problem is that I can't find a converter that would work like I wanted. Do you know of any converters that can do that?
 
Solution
Displayport to dvi requires an active adapter that isn't cheap (different signal type). Its going to be cheaper just to buy a dvi cable and then a displayport cable, DVI cables are cheap anyway, especially if you have one lying around the house.
