I want to use VGA Adapter to HDMI to don't buy another cables like DVI-I Dual Link, because I can't find DVI-I Dual Link...
Or I need to buy DVI-I Dual link cable + [DVI-I ( Female ) - VGA Male Adapter and use it at VGA Monitor Output ?]

Technically, the card does have VGA through the DVI-I port. DVI-I means you can use a passive DVI-VGA adapter/cable, but if you plan to upgrade video cards in the future, newer video cards don't have this.

You can use an HDMI-VGA adapter, but keep in mind that HDMI-VGA adapters are signal converters, so the adapter will have its own limitations. Many HDMI-DVI adapters can handle up to 225 MHz pixel clock, which should be enough for that monitor.

Keep in mind that you'll only be able to get higher refresh rates at lower resolutions. Based on the specs on the box, it should be able to handle 1024x768 @ 115 Hz and 800x600 @ 144 Hz, but you'll have to add them as custom resolutions. You shouldn't need the patch for this.
