Raise the action a little down at the bridge.

I would suggest you get it properly set up, I had some issues with my Strat over the years and it had been tinkered with and adjusted by myself and various people but it was never quite right and I was never 100% happy with it; then one day I was told about a small firm locally who were suppost to be very good so I took it in and left it with them for a few days. When I collected it I was blown away, it was hard to believe it was the same instrument, suddenly the Stat I was about to sell because it was very mediocre was an amazing instrument, it sounded better, played better, the action was lowered right down without any buzz, the intonation was spot on and now I wouldn't part with it for anything. Cost be the grand sum of £20 and that included new strings! So my advice would be to anybody thats got buzz or any issues to have the instrument set up properly, you will not regret it.

Take it to a Guitar Tech and have a setup done.

Changing your strings is not a big deal and you can do that yourself. But when it comes to wiring or changing parts I would have a technician work on it. My luck I would put it back together and have a spring left over....
