He has a 2.5" 80GB sata hard drive spare
Which RAM and motherboard will work with the above? Is the build gigabit compatible?
Also which dual Ethernet needs to be bought? -
No one that can help me? :)

With CPUs like that you should perhaps thinking of another case. The M350 is to small in my eyes and would
not be able right to cool down. And the NIC is also not able to insert if you go with the M350 case! Or where
you should be able to connect them to and have an outbreak slot for that Ports on the NIC? -
Thanks Frank,

HyperX Fury Black Series 4 GB 2133 MHz DDR4 CL14 DIMM Memory Module (Skylake Compatible)I would suggest to go with 8 GB of RAM so I mean 2 x 4 GB for ~£31 wil ldo the job at his best!
Because the new version 2.3 will be more then the others needing some punch according to the
installed packets and offered services or tunings.power supply 30 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Be-Quiet-300W-Power-Supply/dp/B00DBHMJRQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1461349788&sr=1-2&keywords=350w+psu
Be Quiet L8 300W Pure Power Supply UnitPlease buy at first the case and matching to them then the PSU.
Which case?
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cases-and-modding/pc-cases/micro-itx-nuc/mini-itx-casesIn some cases it would do nothing, but in others it would be better to go with the SSD a mSATA with
a 2,5" SATA adapter.I have a 80GB 2.5" sata spinner or a 120GB Kingston SSD
I would try out at first the 80 GB spinning HDD and if it would cause a deep sound I would go with a SSD
instead of the spinning one. No problems at all it would be the best to buy at first the board and then the case
and then the CPU & RAM and the PSU at last. Or all together but in that order.This cases I personally would prefer on top of others to preventing heat and not running in the trap to install
loud fans later according to the case dimensions. One 12 mm fan would be silent.

8GB ram, 6th Gen Pentium G4400 3.3GHz 47W HD 530 3MB Dual Core CPU, first try with a 80 GB spinner or if that is too noisy then the 120 GB SSD. Power supply then as I like the wattage & company

I don't know about the boards, but if you do go with that case they have a version that has the power supply included:

Yes you are right, but I am thinking then together with the chosen CPU and Board it will be getting to hot inside
and termal problems will be there then in.- Dual Intel GbE LAN with cFosSpeed Internet Accelerator Software
I would ask before buying if that can be turned out in the BIOS if it makes problems.
1 x Intel I219V (Gigabit LAN PHY 10/100/1000 Mb/s)
Is supported since version 2.3
1 x Realtek RTL8111H (PCIE x1 Gigabit LAN 10/100/1000 Mb/s)
I don´t know anything about the supprt of this cards.
To be clear and talking clear text here it would better in my eyes to settle on another platform what is really
100% surely supported by pfSense and also running fine with more then the integrated WiFI solution that
is not supported in pfSense now (WiFi ac) and with to new chip sets. Only my opinion but truly and frankly!
A friend of me was assemble also a PC to run pfSense on it.-
ASUS Q87T, mainboard ~120 € (BIOS update must be done to the latest available one)
-
CPU support
Intel Core i7 (Haswell), Intel Core i5 (Haswell), Intel Core i3 (Haswell),
Intel Pentium G (Haswell), Intel Celeron G (Haswell), Intel Xeon E3 v3 (Haswell) -
Intel Core i3-4170 with AES-NI any cheap to get the hands on for ~110 € new and boxed with a cooler
(or refurbished and used for cheap and then with a new cooler too on top) -
RAM support S0-DIMM DDR3-1600 max. 16 GB , 2 x 4 GB DDR3-1600MHz ~30 €
-
mSATA slot full lenght - "Crucial M500 SSD 120GB, mSATA 6Gb/s (CT120M500SSD3)" ~75 €
-
miniPCIe slot half length WiFi Atheros AR9280 new on eBay ~20 €
-
Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I350-T4 bulk ~99 € refurbished on eBay
-
Noctua NH-L9i, CPU-Kühler ~30 €
You can easily choose other parts, but the board and the mSATA plus the WiFi card will
be well supported under pfSense and running fine. So there will be enough space to
adjust this with a viewing eyes on the budget, but it is 100% supported!!!!!Together with your case and PSU you would be built a really pfSense bomb @3,7GHz
for the same or nearly the same price but also you gets the abillity to upgrade and update
this appliance according to newer standards (WiFI) or other NICs like a two port one or a
bigger storage drives (mSATA 240 GB or 480 GB), but with the focus not to take to much
electric power. -
So, case, ram, power supply -all sorted out. Now which motherboard I need to get for the Pentium G4400 3.3GHz 47W HD 530 3MB Dual Core CPU?

Why don't you consider the Supermicro C2758 ITX motherboard? onboard 4 x Intel LAN, and the processing power is definitely higher compared with G4400 (under multithreaded environment), less heat, less power consumption, solid for mission critical applications as well as you can build it in a small form factor. If you don't do something like HAVP, you can get a even cheaper C2558 and do the job.
Realtek 8111 series chip is working under pfSense 2.3, but as I saw in other forum, the default stock firmware /driver coming along with FreeBSD is no good, you probably will see at most 700Mbps throughput by using this chip.
Or if you insist on using Pentium G4400 or something similar, better look for server mobo like Asrock E3C236D2I.

Using 2x4GB dual channel probably a better idea.
BTW, what is the system requirement? Pentium G4400 is also not a very powerful processor, going for embedded one would be a better idea since you can save space, and reduce heat….

I am posting for a friend who will is very close to getting a job abroad where gigabit Internet is common.
So which embedded one is recommended?
