Again, my apologies if this post is wrongly placed. 4K is a very wide term and depending on what format that 4K is in it can be cheap or it can be very expensive. Is the 4K: -Uncompressed? TIFF, DPX, EXR. You'll need insanely fast drives to work with these. R3D, Arri, CinemaDNG, etc. You'll need a combination of fast CPU and GPU to work with these. Depending on the compression you'll probably need SSDs for media drives. -Nicely compressed? Prores, DNxHD, other 'visually lossless' pro formats. These work pretty nicely with basic hardware up until you want to put effects on them. -Heavily compressed? H264, H265 usually from DSLRs or cheapo cameras. These are usually really, really intensive to decode even on faster hardware and I would suggest to transcode these to better codecs like DNxHD or Prores. Also do you need to run these in full res or can you work in half/quarter/eighth quality? Do you want to use proxies? This can bring the requirements down a bit.

It took a bit of research since it wasn't very intuitive, but eventually I figured out that you can customize proxy presets instead of just using the defaults. You have to build your custom ingest preset in Encoder and then export that preset out to your desktop or other location so that you can import it when prompted in your ingest settings in premiere. Once you have the proxies set correctly, it's really a very simple process to create proxies on import.
