Hello, I need some advice. My 10 years old computer is too old to get some work done. However, I don't want to invest too much money on the current CPU-motherboard because of possible performance hit due to the meltdown and spectre patches. Better save some money for a hopefully bug-free system later. For a temporary system to do numerical crunching and CUDA computations, shall I get the 8500 or 8700K?

Just a tip for you, but you would probably be better off creating a single thread (most likely in general hardware) with all your various component questions instead of all the individual ones, as it leaves the people offering their advice a little lost. That way everyone can see everything you need in spot.

Just my .02.......
