I am looking for hardware recommendations for gigabit fibre Internet.
Don't need WiFi, no VPN. Will need to handle Intensive QoS and probably near the max limit of connections (65k), approaching 250 clients.
I would suggest an 4th Gen i3 cpu with motherboard. Make sure its at least a 2 core 4 thread. It will have AES instructions which is needed for encryption. Those are cheap to get. Stay away from Pentium or Celeron series. Then get quad port or the 6 port card in the 2.5Gbps range. The 6 port 2.5Gbps card cost me $100. The rest of the system you can find used for $100 or less in the USA with 8Gb ram or more.
