hey...
I am new here and this question seems very legit to me. Answers, however, does not.
2013 post - how many Resolve iterations did we have in this time - m? Enough, to make a difference in HW configs.
Also, what I saw there - was just some people braging about their HW, no real help in choosing something for modern day..
What I ask are as following:
1. Can I work With Raven Ridge APU's?
1.1. Will they use more than 2GB as their vRAM? Intel is using up to 50% whatever You have: intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000020962/graphics-drivers.html
2. Intel i7-8700k (or 8400) for 4K editing while new generation of Video cards arrive?
2.1. Will resolve work with UHD iGPU 630? If I have 32GB of system memory, it could have 16GB of vRAM available to it, how would that translate in usage?
Just to understand me better, I was using intel HD4400 with 16GB of DDR3 in a notebook (with broken 745M - not working anymore) and workflow was magnificient - no laging, everything runs fast and nice!

only issue if start stacking to much things to have in memory (like testing temporal NR) and only that would crash* resolve or make it unworkable. But otherwise - spledid fluent flow of production, fast and effective.
*HD4400 could only use up to 2048MB of system memory as vRAM. Newer iGPU's can use of up to 50% of RAM installed in Your system.
With this in mind I would believe that iGPU 630 would more than satisfy my needs. Especially taking into accounnt this partnership: intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/hd-graphics/blackmagic-design-davinci-resolve-video.html
One more thing.. then responding, please take into consideration, that I have an intensivelly limited budget, love for creation and have spent more than a year trying to find and build myself a system to work with color grading and video creation. I've been testing multiple computers but now with prices changed that is all irrelevant and I must build a PC (or hackintosh) in next 1month ( I know - stresfull it is - yes?) in under a budget of 450-750€:
1. 2200G pcpartpicker.com/list/RvnTWD (this includes and planned storage)
2. 8700K pcpartpicker.com/list/ByyGXP
My idea is as follows:
1. Buy fast storage (I already have ~20TB of footage for editing)
2. Build basic system capable of complex 4K color grading and timeline manipulation
3. Buy decent graphics card (Ampere/Volta ~4000series)
inbetween steps: make money
4. Buy all the peripherals for Resolve

(insert Your favorite meme)
MAIN QUESTION:Can 8700K work with Resolve or 2200G is the only way in this (defined by my budget) universe?
These systems would easily give me ~8GB of vRAM so needed for resolve and I could keep them running exports after hours.
