I'm interested in trying the new 965G graphics, but that is only a on
the motherboard option, so it doesn't apply to you, and for general use
the x700 will probably work better at the moment (but that might change
in a few months, when the new intel drivers are included by default).
Plus, I don't see very many 965G motherboards with DVI output.

DVI is available as an addon for the 965G boards:

You can purchase (for around $20) an 'sDVO' card which plugs into the
PCI-E slot and offers DVI support in various flavors. This is just an
adapter board which connects the onboard graphics chip with a DVI
connector using the sDVO portion of the PCI-E standard; it's not an
external graphics adapter.
You are right though, Intel doesn't offer a stand-alone PCI-E graphics
adapter.
