If you are not running a bitcoin core node, then I don't think there is a need for a new computer just for this. It would be better though to move your BTC from the wallets whose private keys are you going to use in the new Bitcoin Cash Wallets, as these are pretty new and there can be many unknown vulnerabilities to it.
Today all beginners need to be very cautious, especially because there is little information about the new problems with Bitcoin. After the wave, even experienced users already have some problems. With purses in general you need to be very careful and keep the keys correctly as you pick up the Bitcoin wallet.

There is no such thing as paranoia in crypto. When I install Bitcoin Cash to my dump my coins, im not going to install that software on my main machine at all. If you have a laptop, then use the laptop, since most of the time you aren't on the laptop, or you shouldn't at least use it as the main computer.
If you dont have any spare computers, get a virtual machine and install an OS and install the software there.
Call me paranoid but that is my advice.

I want to dump my BCH, but every thin read says to use a different computer than the one I use for crypto. Is this really necessary?
The Bitcoin Cash full node of course, but you will need to get the Bitcoin Core full node running first, then copy paste the blockchain into the Bitcoin Cash full node and validate the blockchain so it will take a while.
It's the safest way tho, so don't risk it and just do that, im not doing it anywhere else, I want the ideal way, cant risk my BTC. Im just going to dump the BCH honestly, I don't care about BCash.
what is youre recomended bitcoin cash wallet ?
still can use blockchain.info
Like I said before, the Bitcoin Cash full node because it's a copy paste of hte Bitcoin Core full node, and even then, it could still be a risk because of man in the middle attacks, we saw one the other day in the electrum LTC wallet, so these things can happen.
Bitcoincash.org is the site if you want to download it, but try to be sure the binaries are signed and so on.
