Will I get a drastic performance increase or should I wait a few more months to see if something new and better comes out? Also, what model has the best blower type design? the EVGA FTW?

It'll definitely be an improvement.. I didn't realize there was a 560 SE until now, though.
http://www.hwcompare.com/12510/geforce-gtx-560-vs-geforce-gtx-670/
560 is a bit more powerful than the 560 SE
Whether it's really worth it is up to you, so links:

I'd say that these are the best:

put it like this, a 670 can run maxed out 2560x1600/1440 and run about any game 45 fps all day and still run 3 other LCDs with movies and cheat sheets and what not up... but a 560 you would get two LCDs and @ the 2560x1600/1440 you would be getting 25 fps on a good day 
The jump, substantial. And the Extra VRam is worth it ... BUT only if you are going to a multi screen set up or or a High Rez screens.
