Interesting - I kept my old machine (quad core 2.6 mhz intel) and am cleaning it off to just do finances - online banking, investing, Quicken and taxes.  I am clearing out everything else, no email and no everyday browsing.  I intend to lock down the security and keep it off line most of the time.  The new bruiser is for rendering, email and general playing around.  I've wanted to do this for a while.  Never had a security issue (I keep on top of security issues, use AVG and Malwarebyte), but as time goes by and more and more of my finances go on-line, my concern has ratcheted up.

As a side note, I really like my first water cooled rig.  Temps (CPU and mobo) stay around 38 C, even with all cores plugging away at 100%.  Sweet!
