Coil whine is almost always the gpu. If it is in fact coil whine. It's also possible its bearing whine from a fan about to seize up. Since the psu fan is close (even closer if the psu is fan-up oriented) it gets difficult to tell. Same with the rear exhaust and cpu cooler fan. Bearing whine is also possibly considerably louder than coil whine. You'd have to reproduce the sound then unplug the fans one by one.
