four cards no 

three cards  yes

to do four  you would need careful undervolt via msi afterburner

Reason that you cant?

Yes you can, in fact, you can do 6 cards as well, but there is not enough cables for most of 750w psu to do that.

I have 5 x 580 connected to my evga 750 and it runs stable.

Best thing to do, get yourself a Kill a Watt, Home Depot carries them, Amazon as well https://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU

Measure how much your usage increases when you add a card while mining!

Understand your power supply efficiency and then decide if you have room left to add another.
Good read bout efficiency:
