I am currently running:

CPU: Intel i5 3570k
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 670 OC Windforce
PSU: Gold 800W
Mobo: Asus P8Z77-V

There is a major sale going on at NCIX.com for the Gigabyte GTX 670:

I am looking to give a higher frame rate in my games, yet I am wondering if getting another video card would give me a noticeable boost in gaming performance? Is it worth investing in? The sale lasts until 08/21/2013 so I will be needing your help till then! ;) 

Thanks

Absolutely it will give you a big frame rate boost, almost double in most games. I don't know what brand this "gold" psu is though. The mobo is good for SLI.

Can your monitor support greater than 60fps? If it's a 120/144Hz monitor, then it might be worth adding a second 670. What games do you play?

DO not get one. Why? Your monitor can only display 60fps, no higher. (I have essentially the same one) So, if you added a second 670 then you are wasting money. You already play at 60fps on average, so you can't do better. This isn't a bad thing. When BF4 comes out you'll still be able to play the game near/if not on max settings like you do now.
