Also doesn't using two graphics cards make it hotter/use more power on the system, and it doesn't really have double the power of just one more like 1.5 the power? I hear going double quite often isn't worth it.

....But 2 Titans are 2000$ and are barely stronger than 2 780s.
2 GPUs are hotter and obviously use more power, the heat is less of a problem if you have a good case + cooling (or a water loop). It's true that it's not really 2x the power, but in most games it's above 1.7x the power. It's also true it's more worth it to get one card.
The thing is, to get above 80FPS in most games at 1440P you need a stronger card than the 780 and there's only 1 card - The Titan, which costs a lot more and you get just about a 5% increase. So since I need more power I simply got 2 780s and tbh that's also not enough, but 3 780s would be overkill for me and the 3rd GPU usually doesn't scale well (about 0-40% increase).

I have been considering one of Radeon's R9 series due to excellent price performance ratios, but heard they can get quite loud. Looking for 3gb+ VRAM

Quick question. If I want to improve the fps of a game should I buy a better GPU or more RAM if both of these suck (Pentium 4 and 1.5 gb of ram)?

Get a better GPU. They use built in VRAM and will definately boost your fps more than buying just RAM sticks.
