I would use something like PC Part Picker and build something out, or start with one of their pre-builts and then make tweaks to it. Some general notes: CPU is the thing that does the most work in Premiere, so lean toward CPU power over GPU power (although you still need a GPU).
Another thing that I like to point out with hardware questions: Hardware is only one piece of the puzzle. The type of media you work with – video codec, frame size, frame rate, bitrate, color specs, etc., and what you do with it – all have a massive effect on performance and stability. If you work wtih edit-optimized video codecs you can make an old machine go a hell of a lot farther, and conversely, you could spend $5,000 on a computer and still bring it to its knees with the wrong workflow. So there is no magic hardware combintation out there that is going to run everything you throw at it without concern for workflow. In other words, hardware can't fix workflow problems.
At its simplest, if you want to run Premiere Pro, just meet or exceed the hardwaminimum/recommendedre specs.
