Hello,
I'm using Dell Optiplex 7020 running Intel Corei5 4950 with 8GB DDR3, Windows 10 with HP x20LED 1600x900 Monitor (No, i'm not going to upgrade this monitor in next 5 to 10 years, unless it dies then ill go for 1080p Monitor.

Don't wanna upgrade PSU as well, Dell PSU = 290 Watt MAX.

[Usage]
I play games everyday, but i play almost 99% of the time "TeamFortress 2", sometimes "CS:GO", rarely i play "GTA V" GTA works but on the bare minimum settings.
I edit videos on weekly basis on Adobe Premier Pro @ 1080p (No, in next 5 to 10 years i'm not going to edit 4K, ill stay with 1080p) i rarely use Adobe After Effects just to make my videos Intro's & Outro's thats it. I use Adobe Photo Shop & Light Room a lot and it works fine.

[Problems]
I play TF2 on Community server and there are 32 players usually, so it lags badly when i'm around more then 5 players, which is bad, i love this game will keep on playing it forever ❤. I play CS:GO occasionally and on medium to low settings. GTA V is on low settings with 800x700 resolution. i just want to play it in 1600x900 with medium setting, if possible otherwise i wont care, i rarely play it anyway.

Adobe Premier Pro works fine, but will a GFX card help it render faster? If it helps its better for me.

Kindly recommend me a GFX card, my budget is 50 to 60 $$$$ only. Thanks

Solution
With your budget, a GTX750ti can be found used on ebay.
Your strongest possible card, considering the psu will be one that does not need aux 6 pin power.
Likely, your games are limited by your cpu.
