Loud click when powering off

[Mercuryaces]

Hey guys. Just built a pc. Not my first time, when I power off my computer (start menu, turn off) as soon as it shuts down it makes a very audible “click” much like the click you’d get from flipping the PSU power switch off. I haven’t had a computer do this and I’m wondering if it is a problem.

No, it's just the relay inside the PSU turning off. Modern PSUs have relays in them as an additional protection-measure, old PSUs didn't have those.

Some PSUs do this. Probably not a big deal if there is no performance issues.

Do your speakers have their own volume control independent of the Windows volume control? If so, and you've got both turned up anywhere past half way, it'll amplify small artifacts of noise like the sudden drop of signal from the PC. If you're leaving the speakers on, turn them off before you turn the PC off.
