Please take a look at this power supply along with its specs and tell me if you think it would be a good/decent purchase. I've hit my budget limit and this PSU is for a great price. OKIA has been getting great reviews, but I want to be sure I will not run into any particular problems to power my system.

I' m building a PC which contains:

-DFI nForce 590 SLI
-Athlon X2 5600+ (Plan to OC to 3Ghz)
-Gigabyte 8800 GTS 640 (Plan to OC to 600Mhz)
-2GB G-Skill DDR2-800 (Plan to OC to 2.0V)
-Western Digital Caviar SE 160GB SATA-3GB

Thanks.

I think you will want more amps on the 12v rail for that 8800GTS. I think 'they' recommend 26amps and that PSU only has 24. Thats some expensive products to be trusting to a very low quality PSU.

An 8800 GTS requires a minimum of 400W PSU with minimum of 26A on the +12V rail.

What part of minimum don't you understand?

Actually decided to go with the EVGA 590 SLI, but I have a converter anyway.

If there is more than one 12v rail, does that mean you add them all up in order to get the power rating?

Such as:12V1@18A, +12V2@18A

No, read psu 101. For some reason, the link I posted has been altered. You can find it as the first google hit searching for "psu selection 101" .
