I don't really know the difference between these two, but I am planning on running dual monitors, the graphics card only has 1 DVI port available. I was also wondering, what type of adapter or cable would I need to purchase to enable my DVI cable to plug into the Displayport or HDMI port on my graphics card, it would be nice if you guys could link me the adapters/cables.

You need a DisplayPort to DVI adapter. Price vary between 7-25$ depending on the brand.

You can also get a cable that is DisplayPort an one end and DVI on the other:

Note: DVI is only single-link DVI so max resolution is 1920x1200.
