We currently have Dell Optiplex 7010 tower in our office. It's using a single Acer G6 G276HL monitor via DVI-I port on the video card. We were thinking to buy a second monitor and I want to ask if it's going to work with the following hardware?

The video card inside this Dell is AMD Radeon HD 7470:

I was thinking to get the same screen:

The issue is connecting it to the display port on the Radeon card thru DVI-D cable. So I was thinking to get this adapter:

Yes,
Adaptor goes to DVI-D and screen has a DVI-D port. You're good.

Thanks. Will the one I linked to work? (Last link in my OP.) I'm somewhat confused over the DP and DVI-D, DVI-I, etc. Can you check.
