It would depend on what inputs your monitor has but in general DVI or HDMI are what is mostly used, if your running high refresh rates or resolution you would need to make sure the cable is the proper version or kind capable of that or stepping up to display port.

There is no VGA in that pic, that's 2 DVI, 1 HDMI and 1 DisplayPort.

whats the inputs on your monitor?

 

and you dont need to do anything else but swap out the cable to change cables. sometimes you can have oddities in multi-monitor setups when switching cables, but its just a matter of setting things back as they are.

Tell us your monitor model or give us a photo of its inputs.

Looks like you are stuck with VGA untill you get new monitor.

EDIT: I thought you already had an adapter for VGA, and just trying to get rid of this outdated cable. Just get VGA to DVI adapter as others said.

Wasn't it included in the GPU box?  looks like this.

Ok if it's only VGA you will need a DVI-I adapter to VGA using the white DVI port on that card since it's capable of analog signals.

In that picture, the port on the left is DisplayPort, the port in the middle is HDMI, then the top right port is DVI-D, and the bottom right is DVI-I.

 

You can get an adapter for DVI-I so you will be able to plug your VGA cable into it.
