@AdamWest , welcome to the forum.
Here is an adapter that you meet your needs: https://www.startech.com/AV/display-and-video-adapters/USB-Video-Adapters/slim-usb-3-hdmi-adapter~US...
StarTech makes very good products. They have adapters for all of the connectors that you mentioned. I chose HDMI because it is most prevalent.

Two last questions, @Old_geekster ...
Could I just use a Dual-screen Y-cable for DVI or VGA ??
IDK if the card will support 2 lanes on DVI or VGA ??
Also, how would I identify which USB port is 3.0 ??
- To my knowledge there's only one 3.0 & the rest are 2.0?
Thank you again so very much !!! 🤗
