Specs needed for a build for a google fiber WAN using HOME use version"?

chriswise
I am going to be getting Google fiber at my house soon and would like to put together a server build to run the home version of Sophos that will be able to handle the full gigabit of up and down speed I will have while still using the antivirus and intrusion prevention features. I currently have a 100 Mb connection and am using an older sonic wall but even this goes down to 70 MB whenever I turn on the gateway antivirus and intrusion prevention so there is no way it will handle my new connection.

    I take it electricity is cheap around your area? That Dell unit will be a good room heater in winter.
    Use the HP for your UTM, the 1tb drive will increase your build time significantly so be prepared for an hour or so to do the install.
    An alternative would to put the 4 port NIC in the Dell and use it for the UTM as VM guest with many ghz assigned at least to see if it can handle the 1gb link. If that falls then you can go the HP.

    home UTM 9.x running in ESXi 6 e3-1275v2

    Three other UTMs, SUM and SFM in hibernation
