I just got an R9 290 from ASUS and it didn't come with any adapters. I have an old LCD monitor I use for dual screen and these are images of the 2 ports that I need to connect.

You'll want a VGA to DVI-D adapter, pretty much any adapter with those connectors will do.

There is DVI-I and DVI-D. DVI-I has the ports to provide an analog signal for a VGA connection.

Unfortunatly both dvi ports you have are DVI-D

If you had a DVI-I port you could get a small passive adapter for $3-6 that just has dvi-i port on one end and vga on the other.
Since yours are DVI-D only you will need an active adapter (one with a power cord) that actively converts the data from digital to analog.

I was afraid of this. Thanks for the link, now I'll have to decide if it's even worth getting an adapter or saving for a newer monitor lol. Would most current tech low budget monitors come with proper adapters for my GPUs port?

Yes, any current >$90 monitor would have either a dvi or hdmi port.

FYI, hdmi and dvi use the same data protocol so you can use simple cable to adapt from one to the other.
