Headphones/speakers constant white noise

Hello, so yesterday I have changed my GPU and I don't know if this actually matters but afterwards my headphones or speakers make constant noise and when I play some audio from pc that noise ramps up that it's actually louder than the playback audio. 

 

I've tried couple of things. 

Clean install of drivers - sound & graphic

I've tried to plug in old graphics card 

Clean install of windows.

I've tried to plug the pc directly to the wall 

(I have another pc but connected to different wall plug) 

 

So far the noise is still there. 

So if anyone have some idea what could be causing it and how can I fix it I would be really thankful. 

 

Recently I was wondering about buying some decent DAC so if that's the solution, that wouldn't be the end of the world. So I could finally justify it to myself :D

 

Thanks again to anyone :)

I had the same issue after installing my RX 5700XT.

 

It seems like new GPUs can change the electrical noise in the PC so much that this can happen.

Luckily the noise is limited to the onboard audio, with my Fiio K3 no noise is audible. I can highly recommend this as a USB DAC

Yep, thanks for the answer. 
I'll give a shot to Fiio K5, hope it'll solve the issue.
