Yeah, it will be OK if you don't OC anything. The 360W capacity of the +12V single rail should hold for you. Btw, you can also get a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter if you want to go that route. Plus I believe that card comes with an adapter for dual 6-pins to an 8-pin.
Sounds like CM didn't put a very high quality "500W" PSU in there if it doesn't have any 6/8 pin connectors. But to answer your question, you'll have to list the nameplate specs for the PSU's +12V rail for us to know. My initial feeling is don't do it.

That has marginal specs for the OC'ed GTX 1060. It will work, yes. But it will be running beyond its 80% efficiency rating when the system is at max usage. Btw, that PSU has a 6-pin connector, doesn't it?
Is this the card?

Yes it does have a 6-pin.
Yes this is the card.
Maybe I will be buying a new PSU in the very near future. I just want to use it a bit, my hands are itching. (need to wait for the next paycheck )
Okay, it is not the best setup to use it, but will it harm it if I use it like this for a while?

I won't OC, I've never done it and don't know how.
I was asking for the molex, because a friend happened to have one and gave it to me (Does it make a difference?).
And yes it does come with an adapter, but I do have only one 6pin connector.
Since the PSU is a single rail, it won't matter which set up you use. Both the Molex connectors and the 6-pin come off the same rail. At this point it all comes down to wire gauge size and number of conductors.
Well I don't really understand anything from the last sentence, but if you need any more info, you've got to tell me what to look at.
Anyways thank you for your time!
