Your current power supply will handle it just fine.
Will my 500W PSU handle a 260 GTX?

Nope he's just fine, his power supply has 504w on the 12v the gtx 260 will pull 270w at full load. leaving 234w for the rest of his system, his current psu will be just fine.

It's a bit out of my price range. I'm looking for something around $250.
This is the one I'm considering.

same i dea i was going with. I ran my SLI setupt on a 500w PSU but it was really pusying it so I decided it was time to step up and prepare for future upgrades as well. the corsair has been solid as a rock..that would be recommendation if you decided to purchase another PSU.
If not sicne everyone is pretty much in agreement it seems you will be fine!
Enjoy the card!
