Gaming and folding, and like I said, it may change depending on how much money I have when I buy the GPU and block.

What kind of sleeving will you be using? Nice to see you're throwing some color in there, as much as I love monochrome builds they are starting to get a bit dull.

 

I'm going for MDPC Heatshrink less.

It looks really cool, but functionally it's garbage.
