this topic is not about H57 but Q series, but its almost the same ( same bridge should have very similar limits)

So I was looking at my motherboard's specs it has 1x,2x,4x pcie configurations and when i look it the mobo from your link it has x16 is this a big difference on gpu compatibility?

x4 pci-e should be fine for your system.

So the 750ti would work? And if there are other better gpus could you state some?
and would this work with my i5 650?

Yeah should do.

Theres other gpus, but they would require a PSU with pci-e power connectors.

If this means getting a new psu i'd be down doing it

would this be ok? i could probably get a gtx 970 and just start upgrading my parts from there not all at once though would my cpu bottleneck my the 970?
