I am looking to replace my gtx 660 gpu with a gtx 760 to keep up with next gen games etc. but I don't know if I need to upgrade psu aswell.

This is my current rig:

Hard Drive: 1TB S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s

Optical Drive: 22x DVD±RW DL S-ATA

Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB

Sound card Onboard 7.1 Audio

Internet: Wireless 802.11N 300Mbps MIMO PCI card

Case: Zalman Z9 Plus

PSU: NEW! 650W Corsair VS
 
I wouldn't upgrade to a 760 yet. If anything I'd go to a 770 or a 780. You are really just side stepping upgrade wise and it may be worth waiting till the next generation to get a more noticeable upgrade since the architecture is changing next gen. However if you go with a 760 you will be fine with your current PSU the corsair one you have listed.
 


Correct because you are still going to get 60+ frames with your GTX660 in the games you are playing within reason. Here is a benchmark for the 760 in bioshock. I would only upgrade when you felt like the games you were playing weren't performing at a high enough level.
