To get your VGA monitor running, you'll need active DVI-D to VGA adapter,
amazon: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DVI2VGAE-1920x1200-Adapter-Converter/dp/B00C93JQXS

Active adapter converts the digital signal from DVI-D to analog signal that your VGA monitor can use.
Passive adapter in the other hand doesn't convert the signal from digital to analog and your monitor won't show any pictures.

Image quality vise, there's no difference if you use VGA -> VGA or DVI-D -> VGA.

I just told you that you'll need active adapter to get your VGA monitor running if you are using DVI-D port. Do read my first sentence again in my previous reply.

Using the Display Port would be better than using DVI https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815158211&Tpk=N82E16815158211
