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to upgrade their PCs as graphics cards, processors, and gaming technologies constantly evolve and make the “new” become outdated in a just a few years.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.
