This is something I do not understand.
A video card of that consumes at most 130w.
Two are 260w. So why does not a 500w source support it?

If I have to buy source I'll buy soon 1000 or 1200w.
Because I'm going to use 6 plates soon.
Which modular font do you recommend in this range?

Thanks

Processor AM3+ X2-240

And the two video cards that you want to use are...? What CPU do you use?

Now if you go at the link that you provided, you will see that for a single GPU it's recommended a 500 W PSU. Normally a Radeon Rx 470 should need ~ 150 W maximum. So for 2 x GPU you need ~300 W maximum.
CPU 50W. Do you have something elso that uses power? Because I had the same issue and the problem was PSU.

It consumes ~150W at peaks, google it and you will see. Do you have something else that consumes power? HDD? External HDD? CD ROM? Fans? etc....
Do you have a link for your PSU so I can see it?

A good PSU which I recommend for a rig with 6 x Rx
