I cant find anything useful on the PSU, the one site I found selling it, it was stupidly cheap and they didn't even list the spec which is very suspicious. Although I don't have a review of that PSU we know cheap PSU's are always junk, never meet there claimed specification and can risk frying your whole system.

I would as a priority get a new PSU. Anything 500w or above from tier 1, 2 or 3 on this list http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Unknown brand, virtually no useful information in the spec and not listed in tier 1, 2 or 3 in the link I posted. Going with a good quality psu is important, the ones in my link are known quality

I finded one PSU, in 3 tier it called: PSU Lepa MX F1 500W, but this PSU dont have 6-pin pci-e connector, this psu have just 6+2 pin pci-e connector, so how i can connect my GPU then with 6+2 pin connector?

The 6+2 can be a 6 pin or 8 pin, the last 2 pins are removable

There is no way to be 100% sure, the only real test is trying a different PSU. If you know someone you can borrow a PSU from to try then that would be one way. From what you say I feel its most likely PSU but can't be 100% sure.
