Care to tell what solution you had to buy and what it had cost?
So basically... processing 4K is something really different then HD and probably need investment in hardware? I'm now on a not so special windows computer...but it does process raw HD footage fine... typically 2 GB avchd raw full hd footage...

no - it simply depends on the camera/recorder which output format you get.
if you for example use a Shogun to record 4k, you will get prores. but the files are like 10-20 bigger than h264
but not as heavy on decoding and therefore require less power
in regards to your specs - this is what we got:
Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Edition, Octo Core, 3.0GHz, 20MB,LGA2011-V3,22nm,BOX
ASRock X99 EXTREME3, X99, QuadDDR4-2133, SATA3, RAID, ATX
Kingston HyperX FURY Black Series 16GB(Kit of 2) 2400MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL15 DIMM
Kingston HyperX FURY Black Series 16GB(Kit of 2) 2400MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL15 DIMM
Transcend 256GB SSD SATA3 MLC M.2 2280-D2-B-M (čtení/zápis; 550/320MB/s)
NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 980 TI
Corsair CPU Cooling? Hydro Series H110i, 140mm vent.
those parts were about 2000 ?
and definitely use SSD drives or a raid 0
but we got that machine cause we work with up to 5 cams with h264 files with 60 fps - if you only work with one camera, you do not need something like the above - which is despite of watercooling still pretty loud when under heavy load
