Forgot to list my other parts

For 500 dollars I would suggest either an RX 5700 XT or an RTX 2070 Super, get the parts form amazon.de, the parts are far cheaper

What are your other specs? A 5700xt / 2070 super would be limited by older CPUs.

Specs ? 

Are you satisfied with the current performance of your rig ? If so 

Wait 

If you absolutely need an upgrade now it depends on the other specs 

The best GPU you can get around that price point would be a 2070 super / 5700xt

I know Norway is not part of the EU but aren’t they part of some trade union ?

if that’s the case you could compare the prices in Norway and EU and order the parts maybe from there

First of all, what's your system now? CPU, memory, PSU and monitor.

 

What games do you like?

I have an i7 3820, p9x79 deluxe asus motherboard, 16gb 1600mhz ram and an ssd ofc xD

I have an i7 3820, p9x79 deluxe asus motherboard, 16gb 1600mhz ram. Its kinda hard to play cod mw on low/medium settings at 45-62 fps, and I also want to try out the witcher 3 and rdr2, but I doubt i can play those with nice graphics

The cpu would bottleneck if you'd upgrade

Your CPU would definitely bottleneck modern GPUs so see if you could find a 3930k used and for GPU a 5600xt. Those should be within your 500 USD budget.

Wow, really exotic system. Love it! But sadly on AAA modern games (Warzone, Breakpoint, Odyssey, Valorant, Fortnite, Red Dead Redemption 2, etc), buying anything better than GTX1660 Super or 1660TI you will have some noticeable bottleneck here and there, wasting GPU potential.

 

So if you're not planning upgrading the system to a modern platform (new Intel or AMD) in any moment of the next years, my advice is to buy something like 5600XT, GTX1660 Super or 1660TI. More than that without any upgrade would be just waste of money since 3820 would bottleneck it anyway. With these VGAs, you will be able to play anything at 1080p@High@60FPS (depending on game much more than 60FPS).

 

If you're planning to move to something new like Ryzen or new Intel, go and buy the best you can with 500$.
