Computer making a squealing noise

This high pitch noise is usually called "coil whine".

It's quite common and is caused by your GPU.

You shouldn't really be concerned, and it won't affect your performance.
You could try requesting an RMA if it is really bad.

Most people usually learn to ignore it.

Dont mean this to worry you, but make sure you have all power leads seated correctly for the GPU.
In past experience, ive had that problem and it was soon sorted by checking that.
Make sure you turn your PC off first.
It wouldnt hurt to see if theres a build up of dust and stuff in the fan and baring area of the card.
