will i be able to run my pc on this psu?

[Valdamere]

I have a case with a aywun a1-5000 500w psu. Im wanting to run a r9 280 and a g3258 on a msi h81 p33 motherboard, the psu only has molex, 4 sata and one 6pin cord on it. While I would like to get a new psu but unfortunately there is going to be no way for a LONG time, is it possible to use a dual molex to 8 pin and the 6 pin for the gpu and a molex to 4 pin for the cpu power? or is there a sata to 4 pin of dual molex to 4 pin adapter?

thanks for any help.

No.
Aywun? Who is this? Sounds like some minor company with outdated PSU designs, explosive components, and completely insane overrating.

Best if you just save up for a better PSU.

It's a nobody name, and I'd highly suspect it's claimed ratings.
A cheap PSU can take out a lot of components when it dies and I wouldn't even risk it if you want to add half decent hardware.

22a on the 12v - its not even a 300w PSU in real world terms.

The 280x can pull up to 240w worst case scenario - have no doubt that PSU would go boom

Man, those rails. That's like a cheap PSU from 2002. I'm not sure I'd trust that to power a sandwich.

^ I thinknit likelynis a cheap PSU from 2002 - at least the design is.
If that's a real split level 12v (I doubt it is) its nonsensical anyway.
Either way you may 'just' get away with a bus powered 750ti - I wouldn't trust it with that though in all honesty.

^ not the best still but infinitely better than what you're using.
It'll run a 280 fine.
