My system is currently a fx 4350, 16gb of ram. I think thats the important stuff. An a motherboard that can hold up to 32, and has the setup for 2 cards.
ANYWAYS
My 750ti is old, got it some years back.
I was wondering what should be my next step. I head a lot about getting 2 cards and how its better than one.
Is that true? I was wondering if it is better which is the best bet for the money?
Or what do you recommend?

Your always better off getting the better single GPU over two weaker cards, plus that 750 ti isn't SLI compatible. Sell the 750 ti and get what your budget allows. If your at 1080P for resolution then a GTX 1060 would be a good buy or if you need to go a bit cheaper then the RX 470 is good. You could also get a better Nvidia card and use the 750 ti as a dedicated PhysX card but TBH its kind of a waste of money and usually not a good idea since its consuming more power and dumping more heat into the case for only a minor increase in FPS/Benchmark scores and that's only if your playing games that use PhysX.
