I upgraded my PC, I have just upped the RAM to 64GB and got a Radeon 9700xt 16GB GPU.

I want to do some personal programming projects and was wondering what is the best model that would fit my HW?

I mostly use python, but dabble a little in go, and am interested in looking at rust.

I am running this on my desktop, the processor is a AMD 3700X (8c/16t).

As others have already mentioned, try qwen2.5-cider. With 16 GB, you should be able to confortably fit a quantised version of the 14b variant into VRAM. You can also try the 32b variant, but it will be much slower because not all layers can be off-loaded to the GPU.
