1)The upgrade would be VERY noticeable,you'll be introduced to something new,little to no lag in very new games at high video settings.

2)FEAR,WoW,CS would play alot better on it,well WoW might not be too noticeable.

3)The card won't last 2-3 years sadly,think of 1-1.5 years at most,technology is rapidly moving and the 8 series is just around the corner.

4)Ati's X1800 i believe is ATI's rival for the 7800,not sure about for the specific GS,but look into those 2 models of cards.

5)The stock cooling on cards are perfectly fine unless it doesn't work or if you overclock and the card starts getting hot,other than that,stock cooling will work great.
