So I bought Nvidia geforce GTX 285, yes I know it's old, but yet it's way better than a Radeon HD 5450, anyway I have problem with PSU, my PSU doesn't have 2x6 pin connectors actually this lame PSU has none of it, so I wanted to ask is there any other way to get power to my GTX 285.
PSU has 500W not even sure if it's enough...

Your power supply would also have to be able to truly deliver a real 550 watts. So, It should be either Corsair, Seasonic, or another reputable brand that is at least "80 Plus" certified in its efficiency level. Otherwise, The manufacturer could put whatever wattage that they want on the label of the power supply, it would just be highly inflated from what it truly delivers.

The 200 series cards were very power hungry and inefficient. They were beasts and defintiely will outperform your old card, they just require a lot more power while generating a lot more heat and noise to perform in the process.
