Hiya Im upgrading my GPU from an nVidia GTX 260 to an EVGA Geforce 670..

However, I was wondering if maybe I would need to change anything else with it for example PSU? My current system is listed below, thanks for any feedback!

Gigabyte X58A-UD3R Mobo
6GB Corsair 1300Mhz RAM (3x2GB)
Intel core i7 130 @ 2.8Ghz
nVidia GTX 260 Core Edition GPU
600W PSU
 
All depends on the make and model of power supply. If you can give us that we can tell you if you'll need to change it or not.
 
You certainly wouldn't need a new CPU, board or RAM, you may need a new PSU depending on the make/model. I'd also assume that if a 260 can fit into your case; then a 670 will fit in it just fine too.
 
Thanks guys, its an 'Xclio GREATPOWER X14S4P4 600w' I don't think it's the greatest PSU and I understand that the new card will probably require a bit more power than the current card :) Cheers again

not really. Generally the graphics and processor use less power in newer editions.

A CX600 or the like from Antec, Corsair, NZXT, OCZ, PCpower and cooling, Seasonic, Silverstone, or XFX will power your system just fine with pretty much any new graphics card.
