So should I get the Geforce GTX 650 Ti, stick to the Gigabyte HD 7750, the Sapphire Toxic HD 6850, or go with another graphics card? Also would it be possible to buy a graphics card for the PCI x1 slot and have another one on the PCI-E?

6850, if you can afford it.
If I have found the right specs, the machine has one PCI-E X16 slot, two PCI-E X1 slots, and one PCI slot. I haven't found whether a double slot X16 card would block any of those, but it wouldn't be a surprise if one of the X1 slots was covered.
PCI-E X1 and PCI graphics cards exist. They tend to be low-end and relatively expensive (compared to their X16 versions).
May I ask why you'd want 3 graphics cards?
Crossfire wouldn't be available with your system, I think. (SLI is certainly unavailable, if only because the board won't be licensed for it.) Single AMD graphics cards support multiple monitors (Eyefinity), although you'd need to be able to deal with DisplayPort connections if you used 3 or more.
I was thinking if I could have a extra graphics card, like one for the hdmi and one for gaming. Also is it okay if you could help me pick out a graphic card from Bestbuy, my budget is around $150.
This one:
Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0 Video Card (GV-N65TOC-1GI) : Video Cards - Best Buy Canada
or this one:
ASUS GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB GDDR5 Video Card (GTX650TI-1GD5) : Video Cards - Best Buy Canada
$160, but it's a significantly better than the other cards that I see there at roughly this price.
More expensive yet:
Sapphire TOXIC HD 6850 1GB PCI-E Video Card : Video Cards - Best Buy Canada
but also a significantly better card. All of these are only available online.
I'd probably prefer www.newegg.ca, at the risk of having to pay return shipping.
I just go with Bestbuy because of they have a store in my city. But my friend has bought from Newegg before, but I have'nt.
But one more question, would it work on my cpu? I just dont want to bottleneck it.
