If you're going to go with the GTX 260, you need a power supply with 500w. If you decide to go with the GTX 280, you need a power supply with a minimum of 550w.

So would it be worth upgrading the psu for a GTX 260 card?

Definitely worth it. With a 375w psu, you are very limited as to what you can put in your case.
