I've recently OCed my GFX card and I'm testing for stability and monitoring temperature of the GPU... ANd I need to know what temperature range is safe for it to be in... as of right now (Playing WoW) its hitting up to 67C and staying in the mid-upper 60s.

Try finding the manual for your GPU

They may have a range of safe operating temperatures for your card.

140-150 degrees fahrenheit? wow.

The normal average temp ranges from 30C to 50C (50C being hit with the hotter high performance card) as for it maxing at 67C that's not bad, mine maxes at about 80C (normally when Idle 40-45C) full settings on CC:S for about 5 hours solid.
The time to worry is when it reaches the 80-90C and above mark.
If your worried about the temp then either adjust the fan speed of the card, increase air flow (clean the case, move wires, ect), add a case fan or buy a new heatsink for the card.
