Of course if your maxing out your power supply it wont last very long, but in my boox its always better to over estimate when it comes to cost. It will also be less if you don't run your system 24/7

Are you saying that my 350 watt PSU consumes at max 252 KWH? And if my CPU produces 120 watts of heat it's consuming more that 120 watts? So my CPU itself consumes more than 0.12 KWH? Will changing the VCORE by 0.4 volts affect the KWH? Why multiply by 0.72?
What I'm really trying to get at is when we overclock, we raise voltages by about no more than 0.4 volts. Let's say I have 2 computers with the exact same components, one overclocked, the other one isn't. Will the overclocked computer with the CPU at 0.4 volts higher consume alot more power than the stock computer, assuming both computers are used exactly the same way at the same time? 0.4 volts doesn't sound like much.
Off topic: I just saw your sig and I also have the NF7-S Rev2, what's your FSB at? What's the stock speed and volts of your 9600Pro?
