Pf box installation as a load balance/router for 2 internet lines

Hi all,

I posted this on netgate forum and am asking you too if you can help :)

I am a newbie when it comes to networking, so please excuse me. I need to install a pf box that is an old pc with the firmware on it to use as mentioned to distribute the balance on the 2 internet lines from different ISPs then use it as a router and a firewall. I watched many tutorials on pfsense, yet can't find one for an application like this. I will use an old computer case for my installation. If you please advise me with the network card to use for this as well as how to with the setup or at least where to find a guide.
Thank you for reading :)

You are asking two questions that have almost nothing to do with one another.

What network card should I add to my old PC to add ports for PFSense? Just about anything, but you’llbe safe getting something with Intel NICs (doesn’t have to be Intel branded, can be Dell or some other OEM, it justs hould have Intel NICs)

How do I set up multiple WAN on PFSense? See here: https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/routing/multi-wan.html

Looking to buy GTX690, other multi-GPU cards, or single-slot graphics cards:
