2nd 1050ti wont do anything for you except give you more display possibilities

Does it also increase the fps or no? I haven't really researched that before

get a GTX 1070. you can't SLI a GTX 1050ti without downsides. But a 1050ti should be good enough unless you are playing games at Ultra and editing 4k video

Setup:

Name: Ryzentosh

 AMD Ryzen 5 1600

Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 570 8GB

MSI B350 PC Mate

Corsair Spec-01

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2400mhz

Kingston A400 120GB

Seagate Barracuda 2TB

Thermaltake Smart RGB Series 600W

Be Quite! Pure Wings 2

If it does not support SLI yes but I think a 1070 or 1080 is enough and SLI will not give much of a gain in games
