You have been told at least 7 times already - not to use ace a-500br psu with a discrete graphics card.
But if you want to try, we can't forbid you anything.

This is, what will most likely happen with your pc, when you turn it on.
Good luck.

all I know is that im taking your tip on not using that psu for my gpu and waiting for a new one which I think I might be getting a Aerocool Integrator 700W Computer Power Supply Unit PSU 12cm Black Fan Active but even this will take me a while

I've got a psu cable that has 2 molar exits that are on the same cable and I wanted to know if I would just need to plug in both of them from the same cable or use a different molar cable {which is taken} trying to connect a gpu with one 6 pin

I've got a psu with two molar molex cables coming from the PSU but the thing is I got 2 more molar molex cables on those so from each cable you have 2 that are connected on the same wire and I want to k ow if its safe to use a 2x4 to 6 pin adapter using that both molars molex connectors from the same cable
 
I took the risk of connecting my gpu with my current psu with an adapter as soon as I switched it on the fans scared the shit out of me and I unplugged everything from my pc currently playing csgo with again no gpu and decides to wait for my new psu to cone
 
I assume that your psu is powerful enough to power your system.
while it is never recommended to use those molex adapters to connect a gpu it depends on what gpu you are trying to Power up it should be fine for a low power one
But generally it is safer to connect them on different cables
