Recently my Corsair CX750M has started to emit a high-pitched whine any time I start games. Should I RMA the psu, or get a new PSU, since this will be the second time I've had to RMA it? (The first time the psu just failed outright).

Computer specs if you need them:
EVGA Gtx 770 (4gb)
Gskill 8Gb RAM (4x2)
Radeon Fx 8350 8 core (Hyper 212 Evo Cooler)
Corsair CX750M PSU
Gigabyte 970A-UD3P Motherboard
NZXT Full Tower Case 001
 
CX is a low grade PSU. Even if you take another one, same will repeat shortly. The capacitors used in the CX are from a lesser quality. Just get another model/brand. Something from XFX, Seasonic, Be quiet!, Rosewill Capstone, Corsair TX, AX, GS series are the ones on top of my head.
