Looks good to my eyes. You have a beefy computer setup, which exactly fits video editing.
Real time testing and usage will show if you need any upgrading on the video adapter card.
The present adapter will have problems with speed and resolution, it may not be an issue dependent on your application.

All I need to run is 4K. Guess Adobe Premeire requires a good RAM and graphics card.

Do you have any idea on which graphics card will run on this?

Any recent graphics adapter should do, provided the mb has a a recent PCIe X3 slot.
I dont find any good adapters not running at least 4K (3840 x 2160 ) on one of the port types.
Try a data spec search on the exact type number of the mb.
That will tell you the PCIe generation.
