Build router with pfSense

[njanja]

Hi

Will build a PC for the pfsense and want to buy a network card with 4 ports. Today I have two physical network cards.
One card I use for WAN. The second card I uses fore LAN. And on the LAN card, I can create multiple VLANs.
So, I don't need 3 other ports
So my question is the following:
What is the purpose of buying a network card with multiple ports.On almost every forum they recommend to me Use VLANs

Link aggregation, to increase available bandwidth. You might also want physically separate networks.
