I just built my computer last Saturday the specs are i5 4690k, EVGA GTX 970, 8gb 1600mhz corsair RAM, 120gb Samsung SSD, and a CX600 power supply. When I boot up GTA: V I get this sort of weird sound but as soon as I alt-tab the noise disappears and vice-versa. It is not the fans because I used EVGA precisionX to turn them off momentarily and the sound still is there. Please help it is rather annoying. Thank you for your time!!

You're probably experiencing coil whine, is it a type of screeching sound?
It's usually when the GPU is pumping out insane frame rates on the menus, mine did it too. If it is coil whine it's nothing to worry about, unless it's extremely loud/bothers you.
