I just got a new video card today and noticed when I'm gaming that the power supply makes a buzzing sound, almost like you can hear the electrical current inside. It only happens when I'm gaming and you have to put your ear close to the tower to hear it. I'm just wondering if this is something I should worry about? My games run fine, temps are fine, fps are at a constant 60 in game. The buzzing bugs me though, any help would be appreciated.
Question about buzzing PSU

Sorry that might help lol.
I5 3470 3.2
8 gigs hyper x ram
MSI GTX 760 2 gig
CoolMAx CU 700b series 700 watt modular power supply.
I know the power supply isn't the best or anything but should be fine with my set up? I asked a guy at the local pc shop and he said it was good enough.

It seems to have started when I put this video card in, and only while gaming. When I pause and go into menus it stops. I don't know lol. I can't really afford to get a new one right now since I just got this video card today. So I should be worried then?? Should I continue to game on it?
