1050Ti (or other?) for GPU acceleration in Photoshop and video editing

[MatteRB26]

Hi, I'm building a PC for a friend to be used for Photoshop and some light video editing with a current budget of £700 (not set in stone but must be absolutely worth it to increase). I was considering a 1050Ti to provide a nice bit of GPU acceleration in Photoshop, I checked it out on Google and it doesn't look like Photoshop benefits too greatly from anything higher - looks like some diminishing returns.

They also want to do some light video editing as well as Photoshop but both uses may well get more and more advanced through the years. Is the 1050Ti a good starting point with a disclaimer of "you may want to spend some money in a few years"? Or would some of the more heavy editing require something beefier from the start?

I'm looking to pair it with a Ryzen 3600/3800X (well priced right now)/5600X on release.

pretty much any recentish discrete GPU will give a hearty boost in photoshop, but beyond that its likely the CPU that will be the limit.

Video editing wise it very much depends on what. HD with limited GPU accelerated effects, probably fine, say the words UHD or start layering effects/footage and struggles will appear (though workflows exist to mitigate this as long as the effort and final output time aren't important, when i started low quality proxies, and hitting render then watching back to check out what you'd done were standard, now you can work with much higher quality stuff all through).
