If it go's away when you tilt the pc its probably the fan bearing of the power supply.

Probably a fan thats hitting something. Try opening your PC and when its making the clicking sounds, stop the fans one by one for a few seconds. You should hear which fan it is. You probably shouldnt do that with your PSU fan, so if its non of the other fans, its probably oyur PSU fan.

if it is the bearing dose this mean i have to replace power supply

If you don't like the sounds: yes and no, If you are a little handy you can screw open the power supply and replace the fan that's inside of it (You do need probably a soldering iron and some creativity). Else yes you need to replace it.
