Hi guys we all know in few months time Electric bill will be increased near to 100 percentage. So we are in position to save power When needed. So i need you guys to help me and all in the forum to save power when required. So please let me know what would be actual consumption of the power and in related to unit .
Need to know the power consumption to save power when not required.

select capacitor aging as 25-30% to be on safe side.

your power consumption with i5-2500+ + HD 5770??
~250w at full load.
If you'll run your machine 24 hours the whole month....you'll consume 0.25 * 24 * 30 = 180 units.
Multiply units by the electricity rate.

hmm, your location says that you are in Sydney but your IP address disagrees??^^ first calculate the power consumed by your rig by using any online tool.
@ OP - with 2x HD5770 our power consumption would be like this ( just to give you an idea )

your CPU needs less power than those used on the benches so your entire rig will draw around ~325-350W while gaming

Top i am running it in CF. I believe my HOME UPS started beeping. So its capacity is 660 watts. Microtek 1kva. I was running tv at that time. When running the pc with CF its was fine. But it usally starts beeping only when run high wattage components like hair dryer and vacum cleaner.
I believe atleast 600+ its consuming.

You run a hair dryer and vacum cleaner uisng the UPS - I don't think it's good idea
do you really have :
I think you have used the eXtreme Power Supply Calculator which is not always accurate - your overall PC power consumption at max load should not be more than 400w-450w and your PSu will draw around 500-550W from wall socket deliver it excluding the monitor which adds another 25-50w.

^^ are you talking about the PPU or PSu - if PPU what gfx card you are using as a PPU ??
IF if it's PSu then it has nothing to do with gfx card overheating - Corsair GS800 is a good PSu can easily handle the rig you have.
Ensure that the gfx card has proper ventilation and it's dust free - if it's the Old card the TiM might have dried up or fan is spinning at slow speed - check those.
BTW, the thread title is no longer matching the discussion - it would be better if you create a new thread for gpu over heating - you will get better suggestions

So does the PSU affect the total electricity consumption?

^no.
If you have a component which uses 50 W at load, with a 450W PSU Or a 600W PSU it will consume 50W

^^ PSU does effect electricity consumption - Say a PSu has 80% efficiency and another has 90% - now a pc ( excluding monitor ) consumes 300W while gaming - now the PSu with 80% efficiency will draw 360W from the wall socket and the PSu with 90% efficiency will draw 330W from the wall socket so there's some real difference which PSU can make in overall power consumption
