the cpu she have now is  intel exeon CPU E3-1240 V2 and a motherboard compatible with that cpu

even as a member of team green i'd recommend a team red card like the 390 or something

amd is a bit cheaper at that price range and offers more power on 1080p than a 970 ;)

check my signature for nice gpu infos
