Which motherboard as basis?

[wouser]

Hi guys!

I finally decided to create my self a pfsense box for my home network. Main goals is to use it as a router/firewall for my 300/30 line and to connect to an OpenVPN and let some IP adressess pass through there (low traffic) and host an OpenVPN server which ill ocassionally use (so low traffic).
Main concern is keeping up with the general speed of my connection which will probably within a couple of years be upgraded to 500/50.

I have been looking around and these boards caught my interest:

Supermicro X10SBA-L http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/celeron/x10/x10sba-l.cfm
Gigabyte GA-J1900N-D3V http://www.gigabyte.co.nl/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4918#ov
Gigabyte GA-N3150N-D3V http://www.gigabyte.co.nl/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5631#ov

Processer technically the J1900 is the fastest but is that the bottleneck here?

Anyone who can help me figure out the best board for my needs and point out wich will give the best throughput?

Thanks alot in advance :)

J1900 is the worse in OpenVPN performance

300/30 ok but not the 500/50 this will be not really nice with pfSense in that moment.

To high in price compared to the overred CPU power and the jetway NF9HG-2930 is cheaper an better in my
eyes, because it supports DDR3-1600MHz RAM modules and it is sufficient to run many packets on pfSense
and on top it is 100 % compatible to pfSense.

J1900 would be to low power offering but the N3150 would make sense to me, but is not really my choice
then better to go with a C2558 or the NF9HG-2930 thats would be my first choice here in that case.
