this mostly will happen with i first turn the system on, everything runs fine but in the background there is a clicking noise and ive narrowed it down to my PSU 95% sure its not case rattle. Then randomly the noise will stop.
 
Like clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick, or more spaced out?
Or a single click?

Odds are there is a wire hitting the fan, that'd be my first guess anyway.
 
hopefully its not the imfamous hdd "click of death". I would feel on the hdd and see if maybe its coming from there. If so I would start to backup all data that you deem prescious
