dont get either

sell your 7800gt on ebay and get a gtx or x1800xt


your 3200 at 2.5 is probably as fast as a stock 4000

Get a GTX. The new beta drivers support mixed cards with SLI, as long as they are the same series.

Not quite. Don't forget the 4000 will overclock too.

Buy a puppy. Your pc is plenty fast. Save it for when you need it.

2.5 is the highest i can go, it crashes anything above, i have the big 120mm zelman fan, running it at full speed right now, and it keeps it cool so no overheating

Don't get a second card unless you run at a res that is at least 1600x1200. You won't see much of an improvement otherwise.
