I checked around a bit and more people don't have high fps on Guild wars 2 with a GTX 670, but a GTX 680 would hardly add more fps (about 2-3% more).

That game is still being tweaked and you should get better fps when its out of beta. And please if you are going to buy a new monitor then follow people's advice and choose for 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 monitor. Your graphic card will love it ;)
