welcome back to harbor unboxed for this video I realize I'm a bit off-center I'm usually somewhere around here but the reason why I'm not is it's fairly obvious anyway we do have some cool hardware on display you'll notice that the gtx 1070 TI is back last week in video did announce this graphics card we can't show benchmarks yet but it has finally been officially announced and it's a graphics card based on the comments that I saw in my unboxing and teardown video that many of you thought wasn't real anyway the gtx 1070 TI is very real and you can now preorder it nvidia and their board partners are happy to take your money they're starting at around four hundred and fifty dollars u.s. and they are available at major online retailers and the release date is next week though and unfortunately I cannot show you any benchmark data before then so yeah this is another teaser however for this one we are building my new GPU test system I think that's gonna be a bit special and that will be based on Intel's new 8th gen core series of course because well potentially not the best value they are the best gaming CPUs especially the 8700 K it's a bit of a weapon but not really here to debate that today we are putting together the ultimate what I think is the ultimate GPU test ring but we did go about it a little bit differently we're not gonna just slap in the 8700 K straight away having had a look at the specs now and the pricing of the 1070 TI I think that's gonna be a pretty it's gonna be in a sweet spot in terms of value for gamers a bit like the core i5 8400 I thought pairing those two together that could be a really really nice combo basically for those of you who aren't up to speed yet we are really expecting GT X 1080 light performance from the 1070 Ti it does have just 5 percent fewer cuda cores so there's not a lot in it the only real big discrepancy is the memory bandwidth but even so we're not expecting the 1070 Ti to trail eternity by that much speaking of products that you can order and throw some money yet but you can actually get your hands on you how about the Intel Core i5 value 400 I know that's got a few of your bit riled up you want to just buy one because you've seen the benchmark results but yeah unfortunately not to be just yet it was a bit of a soft launch that one I will be testing the core i5 8400 against the overclocked Rison 5 1600 I haven't forgot about that I know you guys want to see that and that will be on the channel in the next day or two actually will be a video about that tomorrow then I think the benchmark video will be the next day but yeah stay tuned that is coming up either way though the 8400 is a very impressive CPU and if you can get it for the MSRP which is less than $200 u.s. it's an exceptionally good buy right now though the 260 use dollars that I've been seeing it at places like Newegg and Amazon it's a bit of a hard pass right now anyway assuming that next week the core i5 8400 turns to supply we'd have a long shot that one and the gtx 1070 TI doesn't sell out like 6 seconds which seems to be the way GPU releases go these days then those two would be in my opinion the perfect pairing having not fully tested this yet just assuming based on the specs but yeah and I think we're too far off the mark there but yeah for now I'm going to assume that they are going to be the perfect pairing and I'm going to put them in my new corsair test system as was the case with my sky like verizon and kb lake test system builds Corsa has again supplied the bulk of the components for my new coffee library on hand today we have for the build the new white version of the crystal series 570 X and I did use for the previous two builds the off the table the black version of this case very impressed with it so I'm quite excited to check out the new white model complementing the white case will be course as our MX rm7 50 X 750 watt 80 plus gold certified fully modular power supply it's a nice power supply and it's white yeah I suppose apart from being what it does have 100% Japanese capacitors does have white slave cables and a very cool thing is it does have a any warranty so that's pretty huge in keeping with the white theme we also have the new Vengeance RGB memory and I say new because I believe the white version is very new and Corsairs shot over a 32 gigabyte kit so that'll do nicely it's ddr4 3000 stuff yet to play around with the RGB memory from Corsair but I have seen it on displayed a few trade shows and events and I have to say it looks quite special then the final Corsair item on the menu is the tried-and-true Hydra series h108 v2 I've used this guy and over half a dozen builds now it's yet to let me down it's a really good quality cooler I like the 240 mill radiator and it's fairly well priced as well for a high-end all-in-one liquid cooler it is these overkill for the 8400 I'll admit but when I do inevitably swap in the 87 or okay for my GPU testing down the track this thing will no doubt come in very handy now a key component of this build that i'm yet to talk about is gigabytes Xen 370 or ask gaming 7 motherboard this is a well stocked and incredibly good looking at 370 board and it is priced below $300 u.s. so that makes it a very solid choice even for those that are looking for something like a locked core i5 8400 is it it does offer a flexible upgrade path in the future or something like the 8700 K or perhaps even something better in the future so enough waffling on from me I've talked about a look and parents we've checked him out I'm excited to put the build together so let's cure for smooth tune and get building now that is a sweet-looking test drink probably I'd say my most impressive yet I came away pretty impressed earlier this year with the KB Lake and that was a black blue kind of build and yeah it looks really good than the rise in version which was obviously kind of an orangey reddish rig that looked good as well but I think this white black version with the RGB lighting which I've currently got sort of set to a red at the moment I think this one takes the cake later today I will temporarily swap out the GTX 1072 I'll install the Vega 64 liquid core graphics card and that will be to finish that overclocked horizon 5 1600 versus Core i5 8400 comparison than all you guys keep hassling me to get done but then I will put the 1070 TI back in there because I will be testing a couple of new games like Assassin's Creed origins and Wolfenstein - the new Colossus for the gtx 1070 TI review which will be coming later in the week there's certainly a lot of testing to be done so it's right to work with this brand new test system I'm your host Steve I'll see you again soon guys
