      Hi there I have the following old computer and was wondering if it will make an okay pfsense router that can handle my two connections 100/20 and 120/6 in load balance mode. Thanks

      i3 530 LGA 1156
      H55N-USB3 Mini Itx
      2x2GB DDR3 1600
      64GB Sata 2 SSD
      Silverstone SG05 Case with 300W PSU Mini Itx

      and will be adding a Intel I350-T4 PCI-Express NIC Card.

        Will most likely work very well.

        See if it will boot pfsense and run before you buy the NICs.  If it works, the intel NICs shouldn't be a problem.

          Funny what is consider "old" these days. =)

          That would run pfsense smoothly.
