So I am waiting on getting my new LCD screen :

And I was wondering if It would be worth buying an DVI to HDMI cable or just use the normal DVI cable that the screen comes with?

BTW I am running 2 8600gt in SLI.

DVI will work fine, unless you also need to transport sound to your monitor for some reason (in which case you'd also need new video cards).
