Hey guys.
So I got an old amazing NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB GDDR5.
I am going to buy a new 1050Ti 4GB.
Since I can't SLI those 2 gpus (cus they're different), I thought that I could maybe still keep my 750ti.
For example, use the 1050ti for gaming and streaming / recording (encoding) only with the 750ti (no cpu encoding)(I think that it's possible)
I do have enough PCIe slots.

Thank you so much for helpers!

Motherboard: ASUS B-150 PLUS
CPU: i5 6600K
RAM: Kingston ValueRAM 8GB DDR4 2133Mhz
PSU: 600W.

Slot placement usually defines main GPU, but it can also be changed via BIOS on some motherboards. GPU in the slot closest to CPU will be the main.

Yes doing this will be fine. Just ensure you uninstall all GPU drivers/software, and reinstall drivers with both cards installed.
However, whatever software you're using has to have settings for which GPU it uses, otherwise it will default to the main GPU.

How do you set a main one? BIOS?
