Graphics Card?

Im looking for a PCIE graphics card that is similar to the one I already have. I am planning on replacing the motherboard to a new one with PCIE port, but the graphics card and motherboard I currently have is AGP.

Is there a PCIe graphics card with the same features as my AGP current card – radeon 9250. eg of my current card :

I need DVI, the din connector i dunno what its called and a VGA. Although 2 DVI and the din connector would be better.
oh and it needs to be small form factor like the radeon 9250

the radeon 9250 is unique to the a.g.p interface and dosent have a pci-express equivelent
however for the price of a radeon 9250 you can get a excellent budget pci-express card with all the specifications you have asked for and more
the 256/512MB Gigabyte 7300GS (http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=492027)is a excellent card for its price and has all the specs of the 9250 and much more
were as the 9250 had pixel and shader model 1.1 this card has the latest pixel and shader model 3.0
as you can see by the photo it has the required v.g.a ,d.v.i connectors,and it also has heatsink cooling the same as the 9250
it also has faster core and memory clock speeds,which will be reflected in the games you play
here is a full technical specification list of the product……………
