An SSD is easily the most noticeable improvement you can make to a system, yes. I seem to remember there used to be issues with SSDs, but now they should be one of the most reliable parts of a system. That said, nothing is failure proof. Any component you order might turn up dead on arrival.
If you have enough things open to cause an i5 trouble, I doubt an i7 will give you much of a smoother experience.
