Confused about DVI/HDMI

Hey peeps,

Just placed my order for my new ROCK Xtreme 770 (Clevo M57RU) /w Nvidia 7950GTX. Just placed an order also for a Samsung Bordeaux LE26R87BDX 26" HD Ready Freeview LCD TV see here

Bought these two together for obvious reasons.. But because the TV doesnt have a DVI port, only HDMI ports.. I've now become slightly confused when it comes to the DVI -> HDMI connection. Will any DVI Cable do with a hdmi converter? Or do I need a more specific one? DVI-A DVI-D DVI-I etc?

Any ideas?

Theres DVI to HDMI cables.

I was going to get this one:

You're insane if you spend $20 for a DVI to HDMI cable. I bought mine from newegg for $7.

 

I tried to do this with a 26inch Samsung HDTV with HDMI. I bought a DVI to HDMI and I had nonstop problems with my PC's 6800GT. The native resolution of the screen wasn't supported at all by the card. I couldn't find any sort of resolution or any way to make the screen usable.
