    If you mean the Phenom 980 Black....

    I think that you are pretty OK with any modern card. GTX 760-ish maybe?

    *Edit: What board is this CPU in? (Since on AMD's the PCIe lanes, etc. are still coming from Northbridge/Southbridge combos instead of straight from the CPU like on Intel's current generations.)

    Yes it's a 980 BE. It is in an ASUS M4A87TD EVO with an SB750 chipset.
