You get exactly what you pay for, the cheaper the price the bigger the risk when buying used cards.

quick guide:
1: set a budget
2: pick out 3 cards within budget
3: read reviews on those 3 cards
4: review what your editing software recommends.
5: get to work.

I would prefer a new GT1030, GTX1050, GTX 16xx, RX550, RX560, RX570 or RX5500 instead of a used cards that is 5 generations old. Just for the newer video engine/codec compatibility.

I’d get a 1050 but no more than that.

Benchmark Scores I once clocked a Celeron-300A to 564MHz on an Abit BE6 and it scored over 9000.
The GT 710 is worth precisely nothing. It supports no features that you'll use for video editing and it's so cripplingly slow and lacking RAM that you're better off using almost anything else you can find, no matter how old or bad. The 710 is so bad you might as well just use a shitty no-name Chinese USB3 HDMI adapter for $10 ( and no, I don't recommend that either!)

The best budget video editing card is a 1650 Super. Don't be tempted to get the non-super version, the 1650 Super is the cheapest card you can buy that includes Nvidia's Turing NVENC econder and honestly, if there's any reason to buy a GPU for video encoding, the Turing NVENC encoder is it.

An honorable mention if you can find one for under $125 is the older RX570. It doesn't have the encoder but it's a good card for the money and it'll rip through anything that can take advantage of OpenCL, including Premiere and Adobe Media encoder.

As others have said, look at the software you expect to use the most, and find GPU benchmarks of that software, then decide how much you want to spend.

quick guide:
1: set a budget
2: pick out 3 cards within budget
3: read reviews on those 3 cards
4: review what your editing software recommends.
5: get to work.
This, but surely your point 4 comes first? There's no point doing the first three steps blindly without having a clue what's going to work or not ;)

Since you are using photoshop I assume you are probably looking to use Premier. So I would pick a card off of that list. A GTX1650 would probably be a decent, yet relatively inexpensive, one to go with for amateur video editing. A 1650 Super would be good too, it can usually be found for within $20-30 of a 1650 and offers better performance and B-Frame support.

Graphics cards definitely help with video editing. Whoever said they don't has some very outdated information.

The 1650 has nVidia's NVENC encoder.
