OCZ Modstream 520

I've read the review of this PSU and done some searching on this forum but everything seems to be a little dated. I'm wondering if this PSU can handle a more modern system wtih an e6600 overclock, 8800GTS, 2 optical drives and 1 HDD. Anyone know if it can handle that type of system?

I wouldn't be purchasing that small of a psu. It's always better to buy a more powerful psu opposed to getting a weaker psu running at 100% load.

and it only has one 12v rail at 28a. That's weak man...

That's what I was a little worried about, although I don't know much about PSUs. I was looking at the Corsair HX 520 or 620. Would either of those work well? Also, this may seem stupid but is there an easy way to make the cables on the Corsair (or any other sleeved power cables for that matter) UV reactive? That's one of the things I really liked abou the OCZ PSU.
