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.

    So I need a couple of machines for various things at home and work so I ended up getting these 2 off ebay for pretty good prices.
    Dell PowerEdge R510 2x E5640 2.66ghz Quad Core/32G Ram/12 x 300GB 15K SAS Drives
    and
    Hp pro desk
    Processor: Intel Core 4th Gen i3-4160 Dual Core Processor @ 3.6 GHz
    Memory: 8 GB DDR3
    Hard Drive: 1000 GB HD
    and I bought this card to put in the above desktop
    Intel EXPI9402PT Pro/1000 PT Dual Port PCI-E x4 OEM Server Adapter

    My question is,which one is better suited to be used with the home version of sophos when I get Google Fiber here in a week or so?
    Based on the advice above I am leaning towards the HP pro desk b/c of the much higher CPU speed.
    Thoughts?
    If so I will probably put ESXi 6 on the dell r510 and put a couple of VM on it for other things.
