Budget (including currency): $50-$150

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 4k 30-60fps

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Ryzen 9 3900x, MSI Gaming X Trio 2080 Super, Corsair Vengance 32GB DDR4, 2x M.2 (1.5tb combined), Elgato internal capture card, 3x HDD for bulk storage (13TB combined).

I was honestly just posting to see if anyone had a line on a HAF XB EVO. With all this marketing fluff, and GPUs getting bulkier I just want simplicity. I had one years ago, but donated it to a college student.

Also, advice on switching to Team Red would be great. My 2080 Super does fine for the most part.

I dont understand, do you already have a case, or is that the only thing you need? Haf XB evo is very old and outdated, compared to newer cases. I would just go with a regular mid tower atx case. But if you really want cube case O11 or similar is the way to go.

For Nvidia vs AMD. AMD still don't get the same driver support as Nvidia, but it's ok. I'm pretty happy with my 7900 XT. Coming from 1080ti.

I'm not saying they're not working, its just that most of the time, the new drivers versions is like beta testing. This might come down to game devs or cooperation with game devs and AMD's driver team though. Most likely its because Nvidia has a bigger user base.
