Faint Buzz While Gaming

There is this faint buzzing sound in my headphones whenever I am playing a game like PUBG or Battlefield 1. I have audio connected through shitt stacks. I still here the buzz when I switch the DAC (Fiio). This definitely isn't coil whine since my gpus are watercooled. I am speculating that it is the psu and would like some confirmation.

It could be the PSU as the buzzing is often caused by an electrical ground loop. However, to eliminate the fact that it is your PSU, try unplugging each item connected to your PC one at a time. It could be from an external device plugged into your PC.

Also you can try unplugging the system from your power strip (if you use one). Cheap / faulty powerstrips can sometimes cause extra noise.
