Well it's only off by about 2000 pixels -- I wouldn't think that would stress the CPU out too much
yes, during non graphic intesive applications, but movies may not play very well when being pushed that much. It's kindof unpredictable, tbh. Plus, you don't know how far the processor is already being pushed by the manufacturer. That and how durable the processor is, sometimes they can take quite a beating, while some die fast. Just get the one I linked:

It's under 50 and should work well. It may run a bit hot, but if you get a silent PCI slot fan, you should do fine.

Hell, you could just replace your normal case fan with one of equivalent noise level and more airflow...
