so erm how would i connect the xbox to the monitor.

 

Kay so you don't even have a VGA port, I thought you did :P

If your monitor is only a VGA, you will have to buy a HDMI to VGA converter as-well.

 

EDIT: NVM :D

 

You can buy one of these since you have a HDMI port....combine both into one.

Which cuts the need for any other cables as it has an audio out port.

You just need to buy that + a http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-5mm-to-3-5mm-Jack-Audio-iPod-Aux-MP3-car-Cable-1-5M-/271176094435?pt=UK_CE_MP3Access_RL&hash=item3f235ad2e3 if its not long enough, into your motherboard/sound card. and a VGA extension if you need that also.

 

And you are done ^^ both video and audio in one cable for little cost.
