Could i run a 750 ti, and later add an 980 along with the 750 ti?

Nope. nVidia is very locked down with SLI. You can only run a 750Ti, and a 750Ti or a 980 and a 980.

You can run them as two discrete cards if you have multiple monitors, but not in SLI as others have mentioned.

 

Watch Linus' video on SLI:

 

No.

Oh i'm not trying to run it as SLI, just as two different graphics. But regarding the sli thing, it kinda sucks lol. unless it wont work as well..

No, and SLI/Xfire anything but a 4 gig card right now is pointless due to ports needing more VRAM and high resolutions needing more VRAM than that. When you can afford an upgrade? Buy a big card. Exceptions might be a really cheap R9 280/280x or if you got a 4 GB lower end Nvidia card (which most people didn't buy cus we all thought we wouldn't need it).

 

I would not get a 750ti atm though unless you are running on a really bad PSU or a small form factor. It is a cool card for using so little power, but not a great gaming card for the price/performance.

 

On a budget I would grab this. 165 bucks and it is a very good 1080p card for this "gen" of gaming. It will destroy a 750 TI. Performs a little better than a GTX 760 and has 3 GB VRAM. Sapphire is also one of the better brands on AMD. Nvidia is poor price/performance value atm until the 970 and until their new 960 comes which will probably have 3 GB VRAM.
