My video card has a DVI-I port on it, and I have a monitor that has a DVI-D port on back. Do I need an adapter for it to work, and if so what is it called?

Answer

It will definitely work fine. All DVI cables are DVI-D. The only time you will see a DVI-I male plug, is on a DVI/VGA adapter. The four pins above and below the horizontal slot are the analog pins for an analog connection. The adapter just gives you a VGA port to use if you don't happen to have a DVI-D monitor.
