The DVI cable connecting my monitor and video card is too short and there is zero slack on each end. What kind of replacement cable do I need to order? I am not familiar with all the different specifications. I do know that 10ft should be long enough.

The highest resolution supported by single-link DVI is 1920x1200, so you'll be fine with a "standard" single-link DVI cable. For resolutions exceeding 1920x1200, you'll need to use a dual-link DVI-D cable (much thicker, more expensive, and with more pins). DVI-I vs DVI-D does not matter in your case, since the difference pertains to the presence of both a analog and digital signal being transmitted side-by-side, whereas in your case a digital-only signal is fine.
Short answer: the cheapest DVI-D (single-link) will suffice for your resolution and needs. For future proofing, consider buying a (much, much more expensive) dual-link DVI-D cable.
6Check what type of cable you currently have, and then order that based off the guide below.
