The page for the Xpro bulldozer says it has a 6 pin PCI-e and a 6+2 pin PCI-e connector so you shouldn't need adapters for that PSU. I am concerned that no where on their manufacturers page does it tell you what its current ratings are...

Open up your PC and look at the side of your PSU, you should have a sticker similar to the one below on it. The combined power/current for your 12V rails should be at least 400W/33A, if its significantly lower than that i'd look into replacing it.

The 4+4 pin connector is an EPS connector, NOT a PCI-e power connector, the pinout is different.

What power supply do you have? If your 500W PSU doesn't have a single 6 pin PCI-e connector i'd be suspicious of if it can actually do the job, even decent 400W PSUs come with PCI-e connectors.

They do make 4 pin molex to PCI-e adapters, but they really shouldn't be used most of the time, if your PSU doesn't have the right cables it probably isn't up to the job.

For more on the connectors refer here
