I am running the following:

i5 3570 CPU
8gb ram
Radeon R9 270
Asus Monitor at 1920x1080

I was looking at going to a GTX 670, would this be a wise idea?

you would get very similar if not less performance with that. If you want to upgrade to an amd card, i would recommend simply adding another 270 in crossfire. if you are looking for nvidia, a 770 or 780 is a good choice.

EDIT: make sure your mobo supports crossfire first.

So would a 770 get me more of an increase?

yes. the r9 270 is about equal to a gtx 670(and a gtx 670 is about equal to a gtx 760) a 770 will give a performance increase.
