You'll have to upgrade your PSU to a 650W. Alternatively you could upgrade to an HD5770 right now, or get a 550W and get an HD5850.

Your CPU is just fine. You should NOT be considering the new Nvidia cards or even anything more than 1/3rd the price of those for gaming at 1360x768. The GTS 250 you mentioned or an HD4850/5750 should all be great for that resolution and for something that is overkill for now but will last you a long time the HD5770 is a good choice. Your current PSU should be able to handle those cards unless it is a terrible brand.
