I get the Gtx 670 instead, the 4gb in the gpu would benefit only at higher resolutions (multimonitor gaming)

If I get the 680 incase of maybe upgrading to a multi screen set up will I get as good as performance on one screen with it as I would the 670 on one screen?

So if I play arma with this rig on one screen it's not going to impact my settings, eg. Making them lower than they would be if I got the 670? I don't plan on overclocking?

I'd expect the GTX 680 4gb to perform slightly better than the GTX 670, it shouldn't impact your settings.
