Do Callaway golf clubs (irons) make a huge difference in the game?

I currently have a set of Top Flite Stratas clubs.

There is a good price on Callaway R5 irons (about $400 canadian), and I am thinking of buying them.

Have people found a huge difference in their games when they bought the elite clubs? Or is it a brand name thing??

Will I notice a huge improvement??

Not a huge difference.
Here's an example, my brother who has Callaways is an "okay" golfer. I am a beginner and have the Walmart type brand. When we both started out, I was better than him using my Walmart brand. So, Callaways did not save his game. However, as he got better, he beat me.
I don't see Callaways shaving 5-10 strokes from your game. However, it might help you "a little bit". For example, the stiffness of the shaft might be better on a Callaway than a Walmart brand. The head might be more responsive. The weight transfer may be better. However, the composition of the club may be the same.
Just take this as an example, the drug Advil has the main ingredient of Naproxen. I could go out and buy the generic brand as long as its main ingredient was also Naproxen.
It's the brand name you're paying for.
However, keep this in mind. The "brand name" stuff is sometimes better than the "cheapys". For example, I prefer a Nike or Adidas shoe over ones you find in Walmart or Target because I prefer the comforability and wear of the name brands. Plus, Nikes and Adidas's are lighter than the Walmart kinds.
That's the difference between name brand and generic.
View the small differences between them. Gauge the pros and cons.
If they are so minor, than a generic brand is okay.
