The best GPU to buy right now would be an Intel arc a770. You can get them for under $300 with 16gb vram.
You should also make sure that you have a motherboard and CPU that supports a feature called "resizeable bar"

Just beware that like AMD, Intel GPUs suffer a performance hit when using LLMs because of the CUDA specific optimizations in frameworks like llama.cpp
Isn't there an AMD 16 GB card too, like a 7600 or something?
There's many 16gb AMD cards since at least the 6000 series. The 7600 XT is probably want you're thinking of since the 7600 is only 8gb.
It's in the list I linked on pcpartpicker they're about $50 more.
