PfSesense Need Urgent Recomendation MB Died on me

[Soloam]

Hello, my mb just died on me (a intel dq77kb started making a noise, like air cumming out of it noise, and started to power down)... I need do replace my current system asap, and I'll take the chance to improve to be compatible with future PfSesense 2.5.

So my needs:

• I have a 1000/200 connection, I would like to take advantage of it
• I use OpenVPN a lot
• I must use Suricata
• Noise is not a factor
• Mini ITX system, I would like to keep my M350 case, but if I need i ca replace it with a M300 for example.
• I don't want mb with integrated CPU, I prefere to have all components separated.
• A lest dual intel NIC

I like a lot MB from SuperMicro, because I use a lot IPMI management on my other servers, if the MB haves IPMI or something like that that allows me to fully manage it without a monitor and keyboard, it would be great.

So need urgent recommendation to a MB and CPU, I prefere a bit overkill to be safe on the future, and the insurance will cover the material, so I can get better (not super expensive, but a lot better)

Please advice.
Thank You

So my plan is going with

• Asus P10S-I
• Intel Core i3-6100
• 4 or 8 gb of ram

Recommendations?

NIC installation is the same as the T620 plus video on the main site

SuperMicro X10SDV-TP8F.

thank you for the recommendations, @MiniKnight i'll look at that. @WANg, thank you, but I don't want to have a Embedded system, I prefer to get all components in separated!

Thank You

You need/want components not SOC and you want to run a lot of stuff at high performance networking...

I would lean towards an Intel E3 v3 system you can get motherboards $70-$130+ CPUs are affordable and power-sipping now, enough cores and power to handle your VPN and networking.

Then you are not going to like @MiniKnight's suggestion to repurpose an HP t730 thin client to act as a pfsense box...
