If you’re a gamer, then Quoted Tech’s Frontier is one of the best prizes you can win from the blog’s contests. With a design inspired by Banff National Park, the Frontier is a pre-built gaming computer that reflects all the power and beauty of the Rocky Mountains and glacial lakes in its performance. Each of the PC’s high-end components were carefully put together to provide a smooth gaming experience, and you can have the chance to have it all to yourself by entering below!

Building a custom gaming PC

When the pandemic-that-shall-not-be-named took over the world, I got into watching gaming content creators stream themselves playing games. These creators make a living through live streaming and rely on powerful computers that can simultaneously handle both demanding games and streaming their gameplay in real time. Because it is a profession, they often have to upgrade their PCs as graphics cards, processors, and gaming technologies constantly evolve and make the “new” become outdated in a just a few years. Some streamers choose to switch out old parts from an existing PC build, while others choose to build an entirely new custom gaming computer.

Key gaming PC components

For the uninitiated like me, DIY-ing your own custom gaming PC like the Frontier can seem quite intimidating. First, you have to gather the key components that make up a computer:

Pre-built PC vs. DIY PC

When choosing PC components, you have to ensure that the motherboard is the right size for the case, that the CPU and RAM are compatible, that the cooling system you choose will actually be enough, that your components will give you the performance you desire, etc., etc., etc. Then, you have to fit and screw in all the components into your case correctly, while ensuring you don’t damage any of the delicate bits of the machinery. Its a lot. It’s not impossible to do on your own even as a beginner, but it does require research, effort, and external guidance.

So when it comes to the debate between going with pre-built versus build-it-yourself PCs, Quoted Tech’s custom PCs, like the Frontier, are in my opinion, the better choice. The assembling and testing are done for you, but you get to choose between type of processor, processing power, and amount of RAM and storage. So it’s still a custom-built PC but somebody else does all the hard work and you can rest easy knowing that all the components are high-quality and will work smoothly together. Even most of the game streamers I watch outsource their custom-PC building!

What makes the Frontier PC a win win?

If you win the Frontier in this contest, you will receive the high-end, custom-built gaming computer that Marcus tested out in his review. Head over to his article to get a full list of the exact specs of the PC. All I will say here is that they are impressive and the performance was “nothing short of amazing,” according to Marcus. That’s the first win. As for the second, the components that make up this PC aren’t going to become outdated in a hurry. But, there’s is no doubt that they will eventually. (That’s not the win.) When that time comes, don’t put it in storage and leave it for your descendants to discover as an ancient artifact. Instead, you can switch out the parts you need to. Purchase and fit in the newer, faster processor or install that higher RAM upgrade or better GPU. That’s the win.

But it does lead me to wonder, like the Ship of Theseus thought experiment, if the Frontier that exists after the replacements will be the same Frontier as the Frontier that existed before the replacements?

Who can say.

Only this contest’s winner.

  21. I’d pair this gaming PC with a CORSAIR – Xeneon Flex 45” Model Number: CM-9030001-NA and set it up in the dining room since I’d only be eating cheese doodles and energy drinks from then on.

Samsung Odyssey G9 49″ QHD 240Hz 0.03ms GTG Curved OLED LCD G-Sync FreeSync Gaming Monitor(LS49CG932SNXZA) I would set it up in the work space area of my home which is between my bottom and top floor.

    Model Number: LC34G55TWWNXZA

  28. include the name and model number of the monitor that you would pair with this powerful PC. Then, tell us what room you would set the PC and monitor up in and how you would decorate the space to match.

    I would use the Dell 31.5″ GTG Curved VA LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor, model S3222DGM. We would put the computer in our side room, and place some nice succulents and fairy lights nearby to give the area a cozy feel!

  30. I’d pair this PC with the Alienware 34″ WQHD 165Hz 0.1ms GTG Curved QD-OLED LED G-Sync FreeSync Gaming Monitor (Model# Alienware AW3423DWF)!

    I’d put this PC and monitor in the game room in the basement. I would decorate the space with a gaming chair and a standing desk.

  32. I’ve always wanted a wide-screen, curved monitor, so something like the LG UltraGear 45″ QHD 240Hz 0.03ms GTG Curved OLED G-Sync Gaming Monitor (45GR95QE-B) – Black would be amazing! I’d put it in my home office, along with some Nanoleaf lite panels to fit the vibe.

  34. I would go with the Samsung Odyssey Arc 55″ 4K Ultra HD 165Hz 1ms GTG Curved VA LCD FreeSync Gaming Monitor (LS55CG970NNXGO) – Black
    It would be setup in the basement room and I would decorate the room full of LED lights, black out the window and a couple bean bag chairs to boot

  35. I’d pair it with the Samsung Odyssey Arc 55″ 4K Ultra HD 165Hz 1ms GTG Curved simply because I think it would truly provide a complete immersive experience to gameplay. The first impressive feature that Marcus addressed was the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. A great graphics card is essential in a system of this caliber. The second feature would have to be the Gigabyte Z790 UD AX Motherboard. I don’t have multiple gaming systems, but do know people who do and would surely let me take them for a spin on this unit were I to win.

  36. I would pair this with the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 49″ WQHD 240Hz 1ms GTG Curved VA LED G-Sync FreeSync Gaming Monitor (LS49AG952NNXZA) and set it up in living room. I would get some hue accent lights for behind the monitor.

  37. Two of the Frontier’s features mentioned by Marcus that I feel are the most impressive:

    The 16 E-Cores of the Intel i9-13900KF (used for handling background tasks like the streaming software, microphone, camera, and screen recording software)

    The RTX 4070 Ti (capable of playing any AAA game at high settings while also delivering a smooth high frame rate gameplay)

  38. Due to space restraints, I would pair this gaming PC with an ASUS TUF 23.8″ FHD 165Hz 1ms GTG VA LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor (VG247Q1A)
    Model Number: VG247Q1A
    Web Code: 15956824

    It would be placed on the corner desk in my basement (where I currently do my gaming) and as for decoration, two separate shelves by said desk hold necessary gaming accompaniments, such as drinkware and dishes – that’s all the decoration I need; I’ll let the transparent panels on the tower and the interior lighting effects within the tower do the decoration work for me.

  41. Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G9 49″ QHD 240Hz 0.03ms GTG Curved OLED LCD G-Sync FreeSync Gaming Monitor(LS49CG932SNXZA) – Silver
    Model Number: LS49CG932SNXZA
    Web Code: 17225445

    I would set it up in the basement with fairy lights against the wall

  45. Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G9 49″ QHD 240Hz 0.03ms GTG Curved OLED LCD G-Sync FreeSync Gaming Monitor(LS49CG932SNXZA) – Silver
    Model Number: LS49CG932SNXZA
    Web Code: 17225445

    I would set it up in the rec room with blue led lights around the desk

  47. Samsung Odyssey G5 34″ WQHD 165Hz 1ms GTG Curved VA LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor (LC34G55TWWNXZA) – Black
    Model Number: LC34G55TWWNXZA

    Home office and I’d have some Nanoleaf lights.

  48. I would choose to use the Samsung Odyssey G5 34″ WQHD 165Hz with this computer in our family room and decorate with great paint choices.

  50. I’d pair this PC with Samsung Odyssey G5 34″ WQHD 165Hz and set it up in my teen’s room. I would also install some Nanoleaf lights to complete the setup.

    • LG 40″ Ultrawide 4K Ultra HD 72Hz 5ms GTG Curved IPS LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor (40WP95C-W) – White
      Model Number: 40WP95C-W would be my choice. I would put it in my bedroom and would use colored led strips and some video game figures on my desk for the monitor and PC to decorate.
