Solution
Any GPU that requires no more than 2 x 6-Pin PCI-Express connectors (or one 8-pin if you use an adapter like http://www.ebay.com/itm/nVidia-DUAL-6-PIN-to-8-PIN-PCI-E-GRAPHIC-CARD-POWER-CABLE-ORIGINAL-/222052681883?hash=item33b35f089b:g:fPgAAOSwAKxWT8SJ). Since it's a older multi-rail PSU, don't buy a GPU with a TDP that exceeds 200W. You should be fine with a GTX 970, GTX 1070, R9-380, etc. The dual 6-pin to single 8-pin adapter often is included when a GPU requires a single 8-pin PCIe cable.
