I've seen people telling me that I should use a dedicated mining box instead of, say, my personal gaming rig, but I wanted to hear it from the experts.

I GPU mine with a 7850, which maxes out at 65 degrees, and never gets higher. Fans get up to about 40% with good ventilation. I can get about 256 MHash/S with this card.

Serious graphical errors and refracts appear while mining (well, duh), but are gone as soon as the mining stops. Should I continue with this setup, or invest in a dedicated box?
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

ASICS are gradually introduced, so mining on GPU will soon become unprofitable...

I suggest investment in Pyramining (their ASICS will be introduced soon) or other reputable mining company...
