Seasonic seems still be a good manufacturer.

Good morning semp,
When exactly are you hearing the static on your headphones 🎧/ headset/computer speakers 🔊?

Are you hearing it from the time you press the PC power button and the computer starts up going through loading up everything up until the Windows login screen?

Or does it start after your computer has loaded Windows (or to put it another way, the static noise doesn't start until right before the Windows login screen appears? )

Yes, static noise coming through the speakers/ headphones  can be an early warning ⚠️ alert  that one's PSU is starting to go but from my past experiences it has been hearing static noise before the computer has loaded up the Windows OS, right up until the login screen appears....(not hearing static until after Windows has loaded/ started, led to being something other than the PSU starting to go bad or PSU had gone bad etc...)

Hope this helps

PSU recommendation:  SEASONIC FOCUS PLUS 850 PLATINUM

Seasonic is always a good choice. I have had good luck with EVGA 80+ Gold units. My new build will have my current 1000 watt EVGA in it.

Sounds like you may have a ground loop.
I'd look into that, before you spend a bunch of money on another PSU.

kind of doubt that, this ps is a replacement of another ps that went bad.  TD sold it to me, it was an nzxt power supply.  he noticed I only live 30 miles from them.  got a new ps, tour of the warehouse and left with a few freebies.  it was awesome.

I use Corsair power supplies ... My old system has a Corsair AX850 850W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply that I have been using for the last 8 years. For my new system I have a Corsair AX850 850W ATX12V 80 PLUS TITANIUM Certified Full Modular Power Supply.

If I'm not mistaken The AX850 Titanium uses Seasonic internals not sure about my old AX850 bronze but considering its taken more abuse than any of my other power supplies it's probably Seasonic too.

Is it just through the headphones only or through all audio devices? If just the headphones id try another pair. If all devices, look at the audio cable from the computer to where everything plugs into.

To me, this sound like there is a problem between the audio out port and the speaker. Some cases the static comes from a dirty pot on the volume knob. Bumping or moving it causes static. Or maybe extreme case the port on the computer has an intermittent contact or bad solder joint. If it were happening to me, I would be focusing my effort into the audio out side of things. If you can find one cheap, look for a USB audio out device and try that temporarily with a speaker or a different set of headphones. If it goes away completely, then that will narrow the problem from the audio out port and your current set of headphones. Only times I have had the issue with a ground loop would be a constant hum in the background, not static.

if you run sound out of an HDMI port from your video card do you still get the buzzing?

It is possible that the MB power filtering caps are EOL, or failing.
