yes that`s probably the fan

How old is your PSU, and who makes it?

Well, i think it is time to find a new one, any good ideas for a good quiet and cheap 750 Watt PSU like a OCZ modxstream

If it's a motor sound its almost definitely the fan. Personally, I would replace it because it sounds like the fan is on it's last legs.

It is a Chieftec A-85 550 watt and i think it is 2-3 years old

Don't think you will find one as reliable for the price. http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=59617&vpn=P1750SNLB9&manufacture=XFX
