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upgrade their PCs as graphics cards, processors, and gaming technologies constantly evolve and make the “new” become outdated in a just a few years.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

  1. I like the LG UltraGear 31.5″ 1440p WQHD 165Hz 1ms GTG IPS LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor
    Model Number: 32GP83B-B because of clean lines. Personally I don’t like curved monitors.
    I would put it in my living room, in it’s own area at a desk, get a nice chair and some speakers.

  3. After reading the article I would go with the Samsung 24″ Curved LED Monitor (LC24F390FHNXZA) . It’s an absolute BEAUTY!
    I would then set it up in my hubby’s office and maybe add Nano lights to go with it. I think he’d appreciate this surprise (wishful thinking on my end).

  5. I would pair this pc with the 55” Samsung odyssey arc (LS55CG970NNXGO). I would have it in my spare room in the basement and set up some RGB strip lighting (most likely govee) to match.

  7. for my grand children i would pair it with the ASUS TUF 27″ FHD 165Hz 1ms GTG VA LED FreeSync GAMING Monitor and add lights to it and a very comfortable chair.

  9. I would pair it with the Samsung Odyssey Arc 55″ 4K Ultra HD 165Hz 1ms GTG Curved VA LCD FreeSync Gaming Monitor (LS55CG970NNXGO) – Black
    and place it in the basement family room so all could enjoy

  13. I would pair the computer with the 24″ Curved LED Monitor. I would put it in my office in my home and decorate in a bohemian style.

  18. I think I would pair it with the Samsung Odyssey Arc 55″ 4K Ultra HD 165Hz 1ms GTG Curved VA LCD FreeSync Gaming Monitor (LS55CG970NNXGO) – Black. It would go in our family room which has a corner for gaming and an office for me when I work from home. The family room does not have a TV so I think the monitor would not overwhelm the space.

  19. I would choose the Samsung 24″ Curved LED Monitor (LC24F390FHNXZA) .
    I would set it up in my office and get some of those Nano lights I’ve been hankering after to go with it.

  21. Okay fellow teens. It’s me the bird man. As a big fan of birds I would pair this custom PC with the Refurbished(Good) – ViewSonic VA1932WM 19 widescreen monitor. Ya I know what your thinking,- hey bird man why not choose one of the other monitors these other nerds chose? -il tell u. The Refurbished(Good) – ViewSonic VA1932WM was made for birds. It’s even got birds on the picture. What appears to be 3 happy Fischer’s Lovebirds. And I’ll tell you what. I would pull the tech out of the monitor casing and lay it down In the bird sanctuary. The birds could use it as a bath. As for the tower, well birds don’t really play Crisis, but maybe they could play around next to the fans if I build them a little wind tunnel. Maybe if I take out some guts, a smaller bird could build a nest.

  23. I would pair it with an Alienware AW3423DWF…basically the best OLED on the market right now. It would go in my spare bedroom converted to a gaming room!

  26. For my son I would do the ASUS TUF 27″ FHD 165Hz 1ms GTG VA LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor (VG277Q1A) and add lights to it.

  28. – LG UltraGear 31.5″ 1440p WQHD 165Hz 1ms GTG IPS LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor (32GP83B-B) – Only at Best Buy

    I would have it in my bedroom and have a space/galaxy theme for it.

  36. ASUS TUF 27″ FHD 165Hz 1ms GTG VA LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor (VG277Q1A). I would set it up in my bedroom and put up LED lights

  37. The latest CPU—Intel i9-13900KF you cannot have maximum performance if the CPU is slow, and the connectivity of the motherboard allows for periferals you might want to use.

  40. I would choose the Dell 31.5″ 1440p WQHD 165Hz 2ms GTG Curved VA LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor (model S3222DGM) – Black to pair with it. I would decorate my man cave with multicoloured LED lights to make my gaming room awesome!

  46. I would have some indirect lighting and my comfortable gaming chair in my living room where I spend most of my time. When I win the gaming computer prize from Best Buy (thank you in advance) I would pair it with Model Number: 27UP650-W a 27″ LG 4K Ultra HD monitor.

  47. LG UltraGear 31.5″ 1440p WQHD 165Hz 1ms GTG IPS LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor (Model Number: 32GP83B-B)

    I would place it in my office and probably add some rgb lightning stripes to my walls

  48. I’d pair it with the Samsung 32″ 4K Ultra HD 60Hz 4ms GTG Curved VA LED Gaming Monitor (LU32R590CWNXZA) – Dark Blue-Grey. I would install it in my gaming room and paint the room walls dark blue-grey to match the monitor!

  49. I would pair it with the LG UltraGear 23.8″ FHD 165Hz 1ms GTG VA LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor (24GQ50F-B) in my computer room. I would leave the space as is. it’s pretty neutral and would match.

  50. I would pair it with a “Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 32″ 4K UHD 240Hz 1ms GTG Curved VA LED FreeSync Gaming Monitor (LS32BG852NNXGO)”.
