Ok I know this is probably a really dumb question but I am gonna ask it any how lol.
 
I have a Samsung 2053BW monitor which doesn't have an HDMI connection on it its DVI. If I get a DVI to HDMI connector will it utilize HDMI still??

    Maybe.
     
     
     
    Every component in the lineup (Video Card, Cable, and Adapter) all need to support it. I can't remember the term used, but the signals need all pins of the DVI for this to work. Some cables and adapters will only have about half of the pins there if you look at the connector.

    You won't have the audio portion available.

    It will utilize HDMI plug on the monitor but it will not pass sound threw it like HDMI to HDMI would..
