It's almost certainly the GPU causing it. Not a lot you can do about it unless the GPU is under warranty.

It's either your motherboard or GPU, or both, or maybe that way overkill PSU. Or any of those 3. Sadly, solving coil whine isn't easy, the frequencies are extremely hard to locate by ear, so often it's a matter of tracking it down by trying other parts until the noise is gone.

What happens if you don't run furmark or the intel burn test?
no whine if i dont run intel burntest
You're fine then. Just don't run the burn test.

Roll a newspaper into a cone, use it to directionally pinpoint the source of the whine.

will try this also
Kalniel can do the same thing, but place the cone on his head, pointy end up!

What's it like with a 2600 CPU and a 290 series GPU?
I'm thinking of making this upgrade (basically; Intel 2500 K Series), or even waiting for what might become an 390x [or better value.]

awesome setup
i run every game on ultra
i am running 2 monitors on eyefinity 1280*1024
When I saw 'coil whine' one word in your post leapt out at me.
I don't think there is anything in a non faulty GPU that would whine. Any noise from a PCB is coming from a coil with a current running through it that oscillates at an audible frequency, (sub 30khz). That means either an inductor or a capacitor. A cheap PSU will whine, most people will have heard a wall wart power adapter whining.
If a new graphics card is noisy under normal operation, chances are the caps on it are not upto the task, either they speced them too cheap or its a bad batch.
i also think it was the gpu as now it is dead
