SLI means nothing. But, there have already been reports of people with the psu you linked having to upgrade, when they changed to an 8800GTX video card. It's only got 18A on each 12v rail, and they can't combine, like the Corsair's 12v rails can. And the PC P&C that I linked you to only has one 12v rail, but it's 49A continuous.:D

If you won't be running SLI then you don't need anywhere near 600 watt PSU.

I would suggest the 380 watt Seasonic S12.
