You can put a second 650ti on the x4 slot, but you are better off with 1 GPU cuz x4 is a huge impact on utilization. If it were a x8 slot then you'd be ok, but it isn't.

If you are asking if you can put the 650ti in the x4 and buy a different GPU, ex. 760, and put the new one in the 3.0 slot then it wouldn't work. It would but not SLI.

You can SLI you 650 ti but I wouldn't reccomended cause the second PCI-e x16 slot is @x4 so you're second one would be bottlenecked so just by a super good card and set him in the first x16 slot.

Is there a way that i can still use my old gpu on my mobo even if i buy a new gpu? Cause i still want to use it, 650ti is still kinda good gpu for me so i still wanna use it.

Yes, 650ti does not support SLI, the 650ti Boost does. On this old post I recommended OP to stick with 1 GPU and not try for SLI.
