Router Purchase

I recently decided on this server, but it doesn't have any CPU or RAM. What CPU should I buy for this and how much RAM should I get? I am running PfSense on an SSD. Our Internet connection is also one-gig.

If you need me to follow up on something, please quote or tag me.

You can almost certainly find a similar server for about the same price with CPU and RAM included. I found this listing which seems to be the same server with both, just no drives.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Intel Core i7-11700K | Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black | ASUS ROG Strix Z590-E Gaming WiFi  | 32 GB G.SKILL TridentZ 3200 MHz | ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 3080 | 1TB Samsung 980 Pro M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD | 2TB WD Blue M.2 SATA SSD | Seasonic Focus GX-850 | Fractal Design Meshify C | Windows 10 Pro

e3-1240, as the thing supports 2nd gen (sandy bridge? not sure what its called)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-E3-1240-SR00K-3-3GHz-Quad-Core-LGA-1155-CPU-Processor-km/173769713776?epid=1423553062&hash=item28757b6870:g:wfcAAOSwachcUdSz:sc:USPSFirstClass!20850!US!-1:rk:1:pf:0

as for ram,

4x4 kit of something like this

https://www.ebay.com/itm/16GB-4-x-4GB-Hynix-HMT151R7BFR4C-H9-PC3-10600R-1333MHz-DDR3-ECC-Server-RAM-R84/392222643643?hash=item5b524a95bb:g:STMAAOSwkjJcSlgo:rk:13:pf:0

or 4x8 (ECC DDR3) kit would work.
