vga for video, if you want audio then just a standard 3.5mm jack coming from the headphone jack of the computer to the audio in next to the vga input on your tv.

if your tv doesnt have the 3.5 jack then use composite white/red audio

No you can use a DVI to HDMI cable and it will work great for you. You will need a different cable to get audio though.

here's one for you
