Here is a video of the noise.

It only happens when I play games.
I tried putting my computer on its side and the sound seemed to stop.
I also tried stopping all the fans (except PSU) but I could still hear the sound.
It is definitely not coming from my hard drives, but more from around the location of my cpu/gpu.
 
Solution
It really sounds like the fans, but at any rate, if you are sure it's coming from the GPU then I think you'll have to replace it if the noise bothers you. Is it still under warranty?

I tried stopping the power supply fan but it did not stop the noise. It sounds like it is coming from the GPU.
 


I thought you had stopped the GPU fans. You can try stopping them or using the on-board video (if you have it) and see if it stops.
