ok so ive been having coil whine out of every Graphics card i get ive had 3 760s in the past 2 weeks because i keep getting bad coil whine. so i stuck my old 7770 it has coil whine too so i went out and bought a different PSU and still got the coil whine. I tried the cards in two separate PCI-e slots with the same out come. I use an msi z87-g45 Mobo. can some one please tell me if its is possible for the Power caps for the PCI-e slots are Whining i though it might have been a ground problem so i went and tightened all the screws, i found they were loose but no change. is it just me getting bad cards or is it something else.
Someone please Give me your opinon

No, it means that it is not a cpu problem, congratulations! 
now, try a gpu stress test like furmark (don't do burn in test, just do regular benchmark, as the burn in test is just not great)
if the gpu stress test gives you the coil whine, then you have narrowed it down to gpu, or motherboard. Motherboards are known to have coil whine, and some are really common actually. My advice is to try a new motherboard, and just ask about being able to return it if you still get coil whine with it

It is extremely unlikely to have that many bad cards. You may very well want to try a new motherboard if you are getting coil whine from everything
sadly errors like this are very trial and error to fix. Also having current drivers for all hardware is helpful to rule out at least one of the possibilities.
It IS possible to have that many bad cards, but like i said, the odds are VERY low of this, but does not rule it out as a possibility. What psu are you using? perhaps a more powerful one would be better, as coil whine is usually a product of high power load on parts

ok so your psu is fine. Next option is to change motherboard, OR try your luck with another card. Next option and least likely of all is to change your cpu as a failing core can cause coil whine within a cpu.

just buy online if you can. newegg or ncix are currently two of the better priced retailers (in canada anyways). I personally have the model up from your motherboard, and i havent had a single problem (the gd-65 model). Another good brand surprisingly is ASROCK, they make a damn good motherboard for the price.

one way i always tell is i run the heaven benchmark just because i know it never made my cards whine and now they do. and it gets really load when you exit the benchmark. i was have trouble with the evga 760 acx so i decided to try a xfx r9 270x, i can still here a faint noise and it does squeal loudly on the exit screen does that mean its differently my motherboard even though i have tried both PCI-e slots

unless you are really sensitive, it shouldnt be such a big problem, maybe try getting other people in the household to rate the noise level of the coil whine. If they say it is relatively quiet, you may just need to invest in some good headphones
